Team Ireland Paris 2024 Experience
7 March 2023; The Olympic Federation of Ireland has unveiled the experience strand of its Paris 2024 Olympic Games planning, including partnerships with the O’Sullivan Group and the Centre Culturel Irlandais (Irish Cultural Centre) in the heart of Paris. For the first time in twelve years, the Olympic Games will be hosted in Europe. The plans cater for the high levels of anticipated interest from Irish fans and include details about the Team Ireland Supporter’s House and Team Ireland Family House which will provide both support and entertainment for supporters at Games time. The partnership with the Centre Culturel Irlandais will provide direct support for athlete experience and transition following competition. The setting will also provide opportunities to incorporate a cultural and promotional strand to enhance the reputation of Ireland internationally through arts and culture and to recognise the significance of the Games as marking the centenary of Ireland’s first independent participation.
