The Comoros , whose NOK , the Comité Olympique et Sportif des Iles Comores , was founded in 1979, first took part in the 1996 Summer Olympics. So far, no athletes have been sent to the Winter Games. Athletes from the island state have not yet been able to win medals.

In 1996 in Atlanta , the country was represented at the Olympic Games for the first time. Four athletes started. The first Olympians in the Comoros were the sprinters Mohamed Bakar (100 m) and Hassan Abdou (400 m) on July 26, 1996. The first female Olympic athlete was Ahamada Haoulata, a 400-meter runner on the same day.

The country’s athletes were subsequently unsuccessful. A weightlifter took part for the first time in Athens in 2004 and a swimmer in Beijing in 2008 . With the exception of the sprinter Feta Ahamada, none of the participants in all sports has so far (as of 2017) managed to qualify for another round.
