It is responsible for promoting the Olympic ideals on the island and for ensuring that Cyprus is represented with athletes at the Summer and Winter Olympic Games as well as at other regional and continental Games which have the patronage of the IOC.
Members of the Committee are the 35 Federations, which elect the Executive Council composed of the Chairman and 8 members. Mr. Ouranios Ioannides is the new head of the Committee replacing long time chairman Kikis Lazarides.[1]
The COC organised the 1989 Games of the Small States of Europe, and the 2009 games 20 years later.
