The Guatemalan Olympic Committee (, abbreviated as COG) (IOC Code: GUA) is a non-profit organization serving as the National Olympic Committee of Guatemala and a part of the International Olympic Committee and PASO. It was formed in 1947 and recognized by the IOC that same year.
Suspension On 15 October 2022 the International Olympic Committee officially suspended the National Olympic Committee of Guatemala. This was due in large part to issues with elections of the COG. Most importantly was the dispute of the election of the head of the COG. At the same time the IOC gave a final warning to the Olympic Committee of India. As a result of the suspension, any athletes of Guatemala no longer had the ability represent the country and compete under the country's flag/name at the Olympic Games and other international multi-sports events. The Guatemalan NOC would also lose all the funding from IOC.IOC Executive Board suspends NOC of Guatemala
