The Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) has facilitated Botswana's participation at the Summer Olympic Games since 1980, with the country participating ever since. They have not participated in a Winter Olympics.
The BNOC was behind Botswana's successful bid for the 2nd African Youth Games that the country hosted from 22 to 31 May 2014. The BNOC seconded a few of its staff members, including Chief Executive Tuelo Serufho to the Organising Committee of the 2nd African Youth Games that were known as Gaborone 2014.[2][3]
