Games of the Small States of Europe

Member countries

The games are organized by the members of the European Olympic Committees (EOC). From its initial forming at the 1984 Olympics through 2009, there were eight members; the group's ninth member (Montenegro) was admitted in 2009. In order to be eligible, each member must have a population of less than one million people. Cyprus is the only exception (when counting the whole island); however, its population was below one million in 1984. The participating countries are:

• Andorra
• Cyprus
• Iceland
• Liechtenstein
• Luxembourg
• Malta
• Monaco
• Montenegro
• San Marino

The Faroe Islands are also seeking to compete at the Games; however, unlike the other participants, the Islands are neither an independent state (they are an autonomous part of Denmark) nor an EOC member.
