The primary stated goals of the foundation are to support the protection, development and thriving of displaced young people through sport, worldwide.
In March 2016, the IOC President Thomas Bach announced the creation of the Refugee Olympic Team, as "a symbol of hope for all refugees in the world" to "make the world better aware of the magnitude of this crisis".
In September 2017 the IOC launched the Olympic Refuge Foundation to continue the support to refugees in the long-term.
The Foundation aims to provide access to safe sport for one million young people affected by displacement by 2024.
