Yemen competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's sixth consecutive appearance at the Olympics since its reunification in 1990.
During the Parade of Nations portion of the 1988 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, athletes from each country participating in the Olympics paraded in the arena, preceded by their flag. The flag was borne by a sportsperson from that country chosen either by the National Olympic Committee or by the athletes themselves to represent their country.
Tameem Mohammed Ahmed Al-Kubati is a Yemeni taekwondo practitioner.
Akram Ahmed Abdullah Al-Noor is a retired Yemeni taekwondo practitioner. Al-Noor qualified for the Yemeni squad, as a 16-year-old teen, in the men's flyweight category (58 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by receiving a berth from the World Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Paris, France. He lost the preliminary round of sixteen match to Ukraine's Oleksandr Shaposhnyk with a default score of 5–7. Al-Noor was also appointed as the Yemeni flag bearer by the National Olympic Committee in the opening ceremony.
