Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Angola competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Summer Olympics, since the nation's official debut in 1980, except for 1984, due to USSR led boycott.

Averted WADA sanction

In February 2024, the delegation was put at risk of facing a ban on using the Angolan flag at the Games after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) tagged the Angolan Olympic Committee for non-compliance with doping regulations.[1][2] The issue would be resolved by July 5, 2024, 3 weeks before the start of the Olympics, when the WADA cleared Angola.[3]
