Olympic villages

Games competitor quarters

Olympic villages are residential complexes built to house athletes, coaches, and officials during the Olympic Games.

Each host city constructs a new village designed to accommodate thousands of competitors from around the world, providing lodging, dining facilities, and recreational areas.

After the Games conclude, these villages are typically converted into permanent housing developments or other community infrastructure.

The athletes moved into the Olympic village two weeks before the opening ceremony.
