On 30 April 2024, the World Anti-Doping Agency imposed sanctions on Tunisia due to non-compliance of its regulations on 30 August which meant that the Tunisian flag would not have been allowed to be used at the Games. [1] The sanction was eventually lifted on 15 May, prior to the start of the games, after the head of Tunisia's anti-doping commission was removed. [2]

As of 9 August 2024, Tunisia has three medals at the Games, with Farès Ferjani winning silver in the individual men's sabre event [3] and Mohamed Khalil Jendoubi capturing the bronze in the men's 58 kg event, the latter becoming the first Tunisian to score back-to-back medals in taekwondo during the Olympics. Firas Katoussi would follow suit with the country's first gold medal in the Taekwondo men's 80 kg event.
