Yemen has only competed at the Summer Olympic Games, sending athletes to every edition since its first participation in 1992. Before the Yemeni unification in 1990, Yemenite athletes had competed at the Games as early as 1984, representing North Yemen (the Yemen Arab Republic; 1984 and 1988) or South Yemen (People's Democratic Republic of Yemen; 1988). Yemen has not yet won any Olympic medal. The nation has never participated in any Winter Olympic Games.

The Yemen Olympic Committee was formed in 1971 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1981.

Recently, Yemen Olympic Committee requested to join both the Refugee Olympic Team and the Refugee Paralympic Team following the outbreak of the Yemeni Civil War since 2014 and appealed host NOCs like Egypt, Greece, Turkey to provide various trainings to Yemeni athletes outside Yemen.[1]
