The Djibouti National Olympic and Sports Committee (French: Comité National Olympique et Sportif Djiboutien) (IOC code: DJI) is the National Olympic Committee representing Djibouti.[1]

The current president of the committee is Aïcha Garad Ali, who was appointed in 2005 and subsequently re-elected in 2013, 2017 and 2021.[2]

A vote on 4 January 2017 came out in favor of Aicha Garad for her third term. The next day, 12 of the 22 sports federations filed an appeal to the IOC. The complaint lodged was that an insufficient number of representatives were present at the vote (seven out of 22). They stated in the letter that "...having found numerous irregularities and formal defects in the ballot organized by the outgoing President Mrs. Aicha Garad in the absence of the majority of Federation Presidents, only 7 of 22 were present." Ahmed Salah also filed a complaint for the vote, including that the vote took place without international observers present.[3]
