The Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation (ISSF) is responsible for the direction and control of the Islamic Solidarity Games.[1]
In October 2012, the National Olympic Committee of Azerbaijan submitted its bid for the 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games during the 18th Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation meeting held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[2] Baku was awarded the event during the General Assembly of ISSF in 2013, which was also held in Jeddah.[3]
All 56 members of the Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation participated in the games. Due to the suspension of the Kuwait Olympic Committee, athletes from Kuwait participated in the Games as independent ISSF athletes under the flag of the Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation. Athletes and coaches will be accredited by the ISSF; they will wear ISSF uniforms, and any medals won will be done so under the ISSF banner and anthem. Along with the Kuwaiti athletes, athletes from Libya and Sudan were scheduled to compete under the ISSF banner but withdrew hours before the opening ceremony.[4]
Below is a list of all the participating NOCs; the number of competitors per delegation is indicated in brackets.
