The announcement was made by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). For the third time at the Olympic Games, the IOC Refugee Olympic Team will represent the more than 100 million displaced people around the world.
For the first time, the Refugee Olympic Team will compete with its own emblem, which aims to convey the different life paths of its member athletes through the design of an arrow and a marker. At the center of the emblem is a heart, which is derived from the Olympic Refuge Foundation logo, to represent the belonging that the team hopes to inspire and that athletes and displaced people around the world have found through sport.
