Vatican City at the 2022 Mediterranean Games

Vatican City competed as guests at the 2022 Mediterranean Games, which were held in Oran, Algeria, from 25 June to 6 July 2022. The nation's appearance at these games marked its debut in the Mediterranean Games, and its debut in any international multi-sport event. The team consisted of one athlete, long-distance runner Sara Carnicelli, and two officials, undersecretary of the Dicastery for Culture and Education Melchor Sánchez de Toca Alameda and coach and technical director of Vatican Athletics Claudio Carmosino. Middle-distance runner Simone Adamoli was supposed to join the delegation but withdrew before the Games had started.
