Sports teams from the country will in future appear under the unified name Czechia in international events, rather than the Czech Republic or variants. The change comes after the Czech Olympic Committee on Tuesday approved a request to enshrine the name Czechia with an international sports database, where it will replace the Czech Republic.
Some other national sports organisations had already decided to use Czechia.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs began a campaign to promote the shorter name Czechia in 2016.

The Prague Municipal Court could deliver a verdict in the trial of Andrej Babiš just days before Czech presidential elections, which he is contesting, take place, Novinky.cz reported on Tuesday.
Lawyers say that if Mr. Babiš is elected head of state criminal proceedings against him over alleged subsidy fraud would be suspended for the duration of his term of office, the news site said.
Hearings in the case are due to resume in December but the head of the court’s judges panel has also set aside January 4 to 6.
The ANO leader is accused of wrongfully acquiring around CZK 50 million in EU subsidies by misrepresenting the size of a business, the Stork’s Nest conference centre near Prague.
The prime minister, Petr Fiala, says Mr. Babiš is seeking the presidency to acquire immunity. The latter denies any wrongdoing.
