The Macedonian Olympic Committee is one of the newly founded National Olympic Committees. It was instituted on March 20th, 1992, at the time when the Republic of Macedonia was completing the process of becoming independent in all social realms, and was setting about the ways towards its international recognition. Before this, the Macedonian athletes and sports workers used to take part in the organization and the activities of the Olympic Committee of the SFR of Yugoslavia.The Macedonian Olympic Committee became the 195th member of the International Olympic Committee at the Session in Lausanne held on September 21-24th, 1993, after the admission of the Republic of Macedonia to the UN. President of the Committee, as of its founding up to date is Dr Vasil Tupurkovski. Vice-presidents are Ms. Natasa Meskovska and Mr. Andrea Josifovski, Secretary General is Mr. Zoran Gapic, and Sports Director is Mr. Nase Nasev.
Apart from the participation at the Games of the Olympiad, the MOC has been successfully organizing the participation of Macedonian athletes at the continental and world Olympic Youth Days/Festivals as well, and was also a host to the third edition of the competitions of the Olympic Hopes from the Balkans in 2002.
The MOC plays an important role for the cooperation and the joint activities that celebrate Olympism within the region. It was entrusted with the mandate to preside with the Association of the Balkan National Olympic Committees (ABNOC) three times in a row.
The first participation ever of athletes from Macedonia at the summer Olympics is associated with the Australian ground, with Melbourne 1956. Since then, up till the Games of Athens 2004, only the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 were "let pass". The latter brings us to participation at a total of 14 editions of summer and winter Olympics, at which, before the Republic of Macedonia has gained its independence in 1991, its athletes had performed as a part of the composition of the Olympic team of the former SFR of Yugoslavia.
