The Czechs want to enter a new name in international sports competitions

Czech Republic will formally request the International Olympic Committee to alter its name to “Czech” in sporting forums, according to a representative for the nation.
According to the Czech Olympic Committee, this decision supports the majority of the nation’s athletes. It is anticipated that the change process would take two years, however some teams’ uniforms, as is the case in basketball, already display the name Czechs.

Even though Czech President Milos Ziman has been working to change the country’s name on a global scale since 2016, the name of the Czech Republic is still in use.

The Czechs aspire to compete in international sporting events under a new moniker.
