Camassia

During the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Egypt, along with many other countries, boycotted due to the participation of New Zealand, who still had sporting links with South Africa.

Athletes from Egypt, Cameroon, Morocco, and Tunisia competed on 18–20 July before these nations withdrew from the Games.
