As of 2010 Brunei, along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, was one of only three countries to have never sent a female athlete to the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee in 2010 announced it would "press" these countries to allow women's participation.
The National Olympic Committee for Brunei was formed in 1984 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee the same year.[2]
