The Ecuadorian National Olympic Committee (ECU; Spanish: Comité Olímpico Ecuatoriano) was created in 1948 and recognized by the IOC in 1959.
In 2012, it had its autonomy reinstated "following domestic issues whereby the Sports Ministry interfered in the activities of the National Sports Federations."[1]
