European Games appearances (overview)

An EOC Refugee Team competed at the 2023 European Games in Kraków and Małopolska, Poland, from 21 June to 2 July 2023, as independent Olympic participants.[1]

The team competed under the country code ERT.

Symbols

[edit]

During the opening ceremony, the team used a flag depicting the logo of the European Olympic Committees. However, in official games material, the team is represented by a slightly different flag that omits the "European Olympic Committees" lettering.[2][3][4] During the Parade of Nations, the team entered after Ukraine and before Poland, the host nation.
