-	-	-

Morocco participated in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal with a delegation of nine male athletes in two sports. A medal was not won.

The delegation was originally larger, but after three days of competition, Morocco joined the boycott of numerous African countries protesting against New Zealand's participation . New Zealand's rugby team had played against South Africa's team in the run-up to the games and thus violated the “sports embargo” imposed because of its apartheid policy.
