Egypt is scheduled to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016.

Egypt did not attend the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles at the time of Great Depression, and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of its partial support to the United States boycott.

Archery

Two Egyptian archers qualified each for both the men's and women's individual recurve by obtaining one of the three Olympic places available from the 2016 African Archery Championships in Windhoek, Namibia.[1]
