The relationship between the Macau Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee

After the end of World War II, anti-colonialism became a major trend, and many colonies became independent. Following this trend, the international The Olympic Committee also became a member in 1950 as an independent member by accepting colonies. Hong Kong applied in February 1951 and was accepted three months later. However, Macau, which was also a colony, did not seize the opportunity and applied to join the International Olympic Committee.

Macau finally applied for membership in 1991, but Portugal, Macau’s sovereign state at the time, did not respond positively, and nothing happened. In 1997, the International Olympic Committee amended its charter to stipulate that only independent countries could become members. As a result, Macao lost its qualification to join the International Olympic Committee. Macao also became the only Asian member to only participate in the Asian Games but not the Olympic Games.
