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.
