Morocco first participated in theOlympic Games in 1960, and has sent athletes to compete in everySummer Olympic Games since then, except when they joined theAmerican-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. Morocco also boycotted the1976 Games, withdrawing after having initially sent a delegation. In doing so, Morocco joined theboycott of the Games by most African countries, in protest againstNew Zealand's participation following anAll Blacks rugby match, unrelated to the Olympics, against anapartheid team from South Africa.[1] Only one Moroccan representative had time to compete before his country's withdrawal:Abderahim Najim took part in the Men's Light Flyweight event in boxing, and lost his first and only match before joining the national contingent's premature departure.
