It was the nation's eighteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics. Lebanon did not attend the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne as a response to the Suez Crisis. During the opening ceremony countries marched in the order of traditional Japanese characters using Gojūon script and Russia removed from the standard list due to doping sanctions, Lebanon was placed last in the parade of nations before 2028 host nation United States and 2024 host nation France, and as well as the host nation Japan.
