Did you know? There are over 100,000 (!) living Olympians around the world, represented by 108 National Olympic Associations, spread across all five continents. And the World Olympians Association (WOA) works to support them throughout the many stages of their lives.
At Paris 2024, the WOA will be opening the doors of OLY House, a dedicated venue for past and present Olympians, and their friends and family.
Typically the headquarters of the French bank Caisse d'Epargne, this historic building will host OLY House during Paris 2024. The President of the company has been quoted,
"For Caisse d’Epargne, a Premium Partner of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, hosting OLY House reflects our commitment to being helpful to athletes, territories, and society."
