1976 Summer Olympics national flag bearers

During the Parade of Nations section of the 1976 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, athletes from the participating countries marched into the arena. Each delegation was led by a flag bearer and a sign with the name of the country on it. The Parade of Nations was organized in French, the main language of Quebec province of Canada. As tradition dictates, Greece led the parade and Canada was the last to march to the stadium as the host nation. Because of 1976 Summer Olympics boycott, some African countries which marched at the parade later withdrew from the Games. Egypt was the only exception because they had decided not to march at the opening ceremony.
