National Olympic Committee unveils photos of Team Kenya "home" in Paris

The National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) has unveiled photos of its colorfully branded “village” in Paris where Kenya’s athletes will reside during the games.

Located by the Seine River, the building is in a 54-acre Paris Olympic village comprising flats where over 10,000 athletes from 206 national Olympic committees and refugee Olympic teams will reside.

Workers were seen on Thursday putting up the final touches on the village building to ensure every detail aligns with the spirit of the games.

“Team Kenya. Karibu Nyumbani,” some of the branding elements reads.

Kenya is occupying the same building as the team from Ireland.

“Excited to meet our flatmate team Ireland,” NOC-K posted.

The team is currently in Miramas, a commune in southern France.

“As our teams prepare to start leaving Miramas this weekend and fly to Paris, we are preparing Team Kenya Olympic Village.”

The Olympic Village features a 3,200-seat dining hall, a 24-hour gym, a 3,500-square-meter polyclinic, and a small supermarket.

Some other participants will stay at satellite villages in Chateauroux (shooting), Lille (basketball preliminaries and handball), Marseille (sailing), and Tahiti (surfing).

The prestigious event will officially start on July 26 and end on August 11.

The Paralympic games will then run from August 28 until September 8.
