The European Olympic Committees (EOC; French: Comités olympiques européens, COE) is an organisation based in Rome, Italy, consisting of 50 National Olympic Committees from the continent of Europe.[1] Among other duties, the EOC organizes three major multi-sport events. These are the European Youth Olympic Festival, the Games of the Small States of Europe and the European Games.
The EOC has no connection with another multi-sport event called the European Championships, which are organised by various European discipline-specific sports associations.
- ^ EOC members include transcontinental countries Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Russian Federation, as well as Israel, Cyprus and Armenia which are geographically in Asia but due to political-cultural reasons are often assigned to Europe.
