Here's How You Can Attend The Paralympic Games Paris 2024
Watching an Olympic or Paralympic Games on TV is something we all do, but watching in person is something many only dream of doing. On Location, the official hospitality provider for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 is making it possible for people to attend the Paralympic Games that are taking place from August 28-September 8, 2024.
Over the eleven-day period 4,400 para athletes will descend upon the City of Lights to compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals in seven sports: wheelchair basketball, Para athletics, Para judo, Para swimming, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair tennis, and Para cycling track.
Not just the friends and family of athletes can attend, but anyone can partake in the hospitality offerings at venues around the city with views to exclusive hospitality spaces- like the wheelchair tennis at the Roland-Garros Stadium. "As the official Hospitality provider for the Paralympic Games Paris 2024, our mission is to shape unforgettable moments that celebrate diversity and forge treasured connections. The values of the Paralympic Games—courage, inclusion and determination—resonate deeply with our approach,” says Paul Caine, President of On Location and IMG Events.
