Olympic Debut

According to CNN, the IOC and Saudi Arabia met together to discuss the female participation in the upcoming Summer Olympic Games.

Saudi Arabia is only one out of three countries who has never sent women to participate in the Olympic Games.
The International Olympic Committee says it is confident Saudi Arabia is "working to include women athletes and officials at the Olympic Games in London in accordance with the International Federations' rules."

The IOC is hoping to change this fact, by allowing the Saudi women to participate in the games this summer. They have confidence that Saudi Arabia will allow female officials and players to participate in the games. However, the IOC still has a lot to do. Especially when observing the list of women who have been eligible to participate.
