The Kuwaiti Olympic committee became a member of:
- The international Olympic committee in 1964

The Kuwaiti Olympic committee is a sports body, which is formed either from the present sports’ games federations or from those which will be formed in the future. Whether these games, administered by the federations, are registered in the Olympic program or not, these federations’ aims is to organize and coordinate the Kuwaiti sports activities among the different federations, and to promote the level of the games technically in the frame of the country’s general policy.

The Kuwaiti Olympic committee’s relation with the international Olympic committee was only a membership relation where in its significance is the same as all the other national Olympic committees in the world. However after years of establishment Kuwait occupied a place among the elite sports leaders in the world, and that is when the late Sheikh Fahed al Ahmad was granted the international Olympic committee’s membership.

The late Sheikh Fahed al Ahmad headed this council however Sheikh Ahmad Fahed al Ahmad currently heads it.
