List of 163 Participating Countries in Tokyo Paralympics 2020

The 2020 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Tokyo from July 23 to August 8, will see a participation of a total of 206 countries. This number may sound absurd to any person having event the faintest interest in Geography.

Why?

Because the total number of countries in the world is 195!

So, how can 206 countries participate in the 2020 Olympics when only 195 really exist? Well, simply because not all countries participating in the Olympics are really countries!

If you are left scratching your heads, don’t worry. We have a simple explanation for you. IOC or the International Olympics Committe is the body that takes the final call on who gets to participate in the Olympics. Each body or state that the IOC decides can participate is called a National Olympic Committee or NOC. For example, the Indian NOC is titled the Indian Olympic Association. So, the 206 counties participating in the Olympics are actually NOCs. These will include the following:

Type of NOCCountDescription
Countries193Member countries of the UN
 1Non-member observer country of Palestine
Other states9Dependent territories of the American Samoa, Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Guam, Aruba and Puerto Rico
 2Partially recognized states of Chinese Taipei or Taiwan and Kosovo
 1Almost-independent state of Cook Islands

An astounding number of 11,326 atheletes are compete in the Olympics this year, making it a monumental global sports event.

No matter the geo-political or cultural background of an athelete, the Olympics gives everyone the feeling of belonging to one beautiful blue planet!
