The Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO) were the games set up by Indonesia (also known as ) File:Flag of Indonesia.svg in late 1962 as a counter to the Olympic Games. Established for the athletes of the so-called "emerging nations" (mainly newly independent socialist states), GANEFO made it clear in its constitution that politics and sport were intertwined; this ran against the doctrine of the International Olympic Committee, which strove to separate politics from sport. The IOC decreed that the athletes attending GANEFO would be ineligible to participate in the Olympic Games.

  • The Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO) were the games set up by Indonesia (also known as ) File:Flag of Indonesia.svg in late 1962 as a counter to the Olympic Games. Established for the athletes of the so-called "emerging nations" (mainly newly independent socialist states), GANEFO made it clear in its constitution that politics and sport were intertwined; this ran against the doctrine of the International Olympic Committee, which strove to separate politics from sport. The IOC decreed that the athletes attending GANEFO would be ineligible to participate in the Olympic Games. Indonesia (also known as ) File:Flag of Indonesia.svg established GANEFO in the aftermath of IOC censure for the politically charged 4th 1962 Asian Games in which Indonesia (also known as ) File:Flag of Indonesia.svg hosted and for which Taiwan (also known as ) File:Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg and Israel (also known as ) File:Flag of Israel.svg were refused entry cards. The IOC's eventual reaction was to indefinitely suspend Indonesia (also known as ) File:Flag of Indonesia.svg from the IOC. This was the first time the IOC suspended one of its members.
