What you need to know:

  • By the time athletes arrive at the venue, all should be ready to allow the crème de la crème to perform at their best in their biggest moment
  • NOC-K is determined to ensure everything for Team Kenya is ready by the time the first athletes lands in France
  • With 257 days to the Paris Olympics, an advance team from Kenya composed of the lead management team – headed by the Chef-De-Mission, government representatives and the Kenyan Embassy in France - shall have pre-event visits in France this November to ensure preparations are in top form

In July, 2024, athletes from around the world will gather for the biggest stage in sports – the 38th edition of the Olympics in Paris, France.

The hosts of each edition are appointed at least 10 years in advance, and they benefit from knowledge transfer and living in the experience of the Olympics preceding the specific edition. Elaborate arrangements are made considering the magnitude of the Games.
