The 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal were significantly impacted by African nations, as 29 countries boycotted the Games in protest against New Zealand's participation. This boycott was a response to New Zealand's rugby team's tour of apartheid-era South Africa, which many African nations viewed as endorsing the racist regime. The absence of these nations diminished the overall competitiveness of the Games and highlighted the global tensions surrounding apartheid, drawing international attention to the issues of racial injustice and colonialism. The boycott underscored the solidarity among African nations against oppression and set a precedent for political activism in sports.
