The Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee (BOIC) represents the Olympic Movement and its values in Belgium. Just like the 205 other National Olympic Committees in the world, it is recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). On a European level, the BOIC is a member of the European Olympic Committees (EOC). The BOIC is an “interfederaal” organisation: it represents the national sports federations, which usually consist of two or three community leagues. Representing over 20,000 sports clubs and over 2,000,000 sportspersons, the representatives of 80 sports federations gather in the General Assembly.
