The moment we’ve been waiting for is just around the corner. After a long wait since Tokyo 2020 — which took place in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic — it’s time for another edition of the Olympic Games.

Paris 2024 will get underway on Friday, July 26, with the football event, in a day that will also have Rugby sevens matches. From then on, the biggest sporting event in the world will bring more action every day until Sunday, August 11 with 13 gold medal events.

Of course, a traditional closing ceremony will be held to officially wrap up the tournament in the French capital.

The next edition of the Summer Games will be in Los Angeles in 2028. The International Olympic Committee has even lined up future hosts through 2032, with Brisbane getting the hosting rights for that year.
