Saudi Olympic & Paralympic Committee (IOC code: KSA; Arabic: اللجنة الأولمبية السعودية وأولمبياد المعاقين) is the National Olympic Committee and the National Paralympic Committee representing Saudi Arabia.
Until the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Saudi Arabia was one of three countries that had never had a female competitor at the games.[1] The other two countries, Qatar and Brunei, also selected women to compete for the first time.[2] On 20 December 2021, the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee and the Saudi Arabian Paralympic Committee were merged into one.[3]
