===Participating states in 1st GANEFO===
The first edition of GANEFO was held in [[Jakarta]], [[Indonesia]], on 10 to 22 November 1963. Athletes from 46 states dispatched about 2,700 athletes and seven nations sent staff and officials. In total, 51 states participated in the Games from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America such as [[Afghanistan]], [[People's Socialist Republic of Albania|Albania]], [[Algeria]], [[Argentina]], [[Belgium]], [[Bolivia]], [[Brazil]], [[People's Republic of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], [[Burmese Way to Socialism|Burma]], [[Kingdom of Cambodia (1953–1970)|Cambodia]], [[Chile]], [[Dominion of Ceylon|Ceylon]], [[Cuba]], [[Czechoslovak Socialist Republic|Czechoslovakia]], [[North Korea|DPR Korea]], the [[Dominican Republic]], [[Finland]], [[France]], the [[East Germany|German Democratic Republic]], [[Guinea]], [[Hungarian People's Republic|Hungary]], [[Indonesia]], [[Iraq]], [[Italy]], [[Japan]], [[Kingdom of Laos|Laos]], [[Lebanon]], [[Mexico]], [[Mongolian People's Republic|Mongolia]], [[Morocco]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Nigeria]], [[Pakistan]], Palestine (the [[Jordanian annexation of the West Bank|Jordanian West Bank]] and the [[Occupation of the Gaza Strip by Egypt|Egyptian Gaza Strip]]), [[China|People's Republic of China]], the [[History of the Philippines (1946–65)|Philippines]], [[Polish People's Republic|Poland]], [[Mali|Republic of Mali]], [[Socialist Republic of Romania|Romania]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Senegal]], [[Somalia]], [[Thailand]], [[Tunisia]], [[Soviet Union]], [[Syria]], [[North Vietnam]], the [[United Arab Republic]], [[Uruguay]], and [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia.]] Unlike the Olympics, there was also a team representing "Arab Palestine."<ref>{{YouTube |HrG3joA9QMI|GANEFO opening ceremony footage}}</ref>

No country, however, was represented officially by its national Olympics committee, for fear of IOC reprisals.<ref name=":1" /> For instance, the [[Soviet Union]], in a show of solidarity, sent athletes to the first GANEFO, but in order not to jeopardise their position in the IOC, the Soviet athletes were not of Olympic calibre. Japan let their athletes of non-Olympic calibre attend the first GANEFO to take account of the host nation's position of [[1964 Summer Olympics]]. Nevertheless, in the lead-up to the first GANEFO, the Japanese NOC did receive a thinly-veiled threat from the American IOC President at the time, Avery Brundage, regarding Japanese participation in the first GANEFO.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Shuman|first=Amanda|date=2013-11-13|title=Elite Competitive Sport in the People's Republic of China 1958–1966: The Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO)|url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/525098|journal=Journal of Sport History|language=en|volume=40|issue=2|pages=258–283|doi=10.5406/jsporthistory.40.2.258 |issn=2155-8450|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
