Paris 2024 Olympic Games: no Breton, Russian or Occitan flags… why certain banners will be banned from the stands ?

Certains drapeaux ne pourront être brandis dans les tribunes ? MAXPPP

Malgré les 206 nations représentées, certains drapeaux ne seront pas autorisés pendant les Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024.

In total, 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) will be represented in Paris. And as in most sporting events, flags will be everywhere to support the different delegations. However, the Paris 2024 guide is very clear about the permitted flags.

The official Games guide explains that"it is forbidden d’ bring to all Paris 2024 Official Sites flags (current and historical) of countries whose athletes are allowed to participate exclusively as neutral individual athletes as well as any other object likely to be associated with these countries’ ;quot;.

Only flags of the nations represented

In summary, it is forbidden to go to competition venues with a flag other than that of one of the 206 nations represented.

Which means that the Breton flag – the Gwenn ha of –, that of Occitanie or Corsica will not be authorized, just like those of Belarus or Russia.

Quite the opposite of the flags of Ukraine or Palestine, very often in the stands during the latest major sporting events.
