During the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, Egypt, along with many other countries, boycotted due to the participation of New Zealand, who still had sporting links with South Africa.

Athletes from Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia competed on July 18-20 before these nations withdrew from the Games.
