ACOLOP is an Olympic-related non-profit organisation officially established on
June 8, 2004, in Lisbon. It was founded by the national Olympic committees
(NOCs) of Angola, Brazil,
Cape Verde, East Timor,
Guinea-Bissau, Macau (China),
Mozambique, Portugal and
São Tomé and Príncipe; it also includes Equatorial
Guinea as an associate member. On April 2006, India (represented by the Goa
Olympic Association) and Sri Lanka were admitted also as associate members,
based on their common historical past with Portugal.
The Portuguese-speaking countries are spread through four continents and reach a
total population of about 250 million people. Portuguese thus occupies a place
among the most spoken languages in the world. The purpose of reinforcing the
bonds between these nations and promoting unity and cooperation through sport
was the main reason for ACOLOP's creation.
