IPhO

The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) is the World Championship Physics Competition for High School students and is held annually in a different country. The first IPhO was held in 1967 in Poland. It has gradually expanded to over 80 countries from 5 continents. The IPhO International Board ensures that the competition takes place each year and that each host country observes the regulations and traditions of the IPhO.
The IPHO requires a really deep theoretical knowledge of physics and application also in the problems:-
This is the offical syllabus it is of 2018 but you can check it for 2019 but its preety much the same-

so the topics are in this but I assume that there may be many more in the books I recommend.
There is a long list of books and unfortunately I dont have the pdf to them but if you have please share the link with everyone this blog...

    Practice is the key to an olympiad like this so practice from various national Olympiads even not from your country and international olympiads like Asian Pacific Physics Olympiad,etc.

    All the best!
