The Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) is the umbrella organisation for the 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) in the world. As an international, non-governmental, non-profit organisation we aim to strengthen the relationships between the NOCs and the Olympic Family for the benefit of the entire Olympic Movement. Through the ANOC Executive Council, ANOC Commissions and Working Groups as well as the ANOC General Assembly we strive to find solutions to the most important issues facing the NOCs and ensure that they are kept at the very forefront of the Olympic Movement’s agenda. By facilitating and opening up new dialogue, ANOC is committed to forging more productive and collaborative working relationships between NOCs and International Federations (IFs) to secure the success and celebration of the ANOC World Beach Games.
