Games of the Small States of Europe
The Games of the Small States of Europe (GSSE) is a biennial multi-sport event, launched by the Republic of San Marino, organized by and featuring the National Olympic Committees of nine European small states since 1985. The Games are held at the end of May or beginning of June and feature competition in nine Summer Olympic sports.
Member countries
The games are organized by the members of the European Olympic Committees (EOC). From its initial forming at the 1984 Olympics through 2009, there were eight members; the group's ninth member (Montenegro) was admitted in 2009. Every member has a population of less than one million people (Cyprus is the only exception; however, its population was below one million in 1984). The participating countries are: โข ๐ฆ๐ฉ Andorra โข ๐จ๐พ Cyprus โข ๐ฎ๐ธ Iceland โข ๐ฑ๐ฎ Liechtenstein โข ๐ฑ๐บ Luxembourg โข ๐ฒ๐น Malta โข ๐ฒ๐จ Monaco โข ๐ฒ๐ช Montenegro* โข ๐ธ๐ฒ San Marino (*) Montenegro became the ninth GSSE country on 1 June 2009. The Faroe Islands are also seeking to compete at the Games; however, unlike the other participants, the Islands are neither an independent state (they are an autonomous part of Denmark) nor are they an EOC member.
