The OFI continues to work very closely with the Sport Ireland Institute, Sport Northern Ireland Institute and the National Federations to prepare athletes for the Olympic Games – with the next editions taking place in Paris 2024 (Summer) and Milano Cortina 2026 (Winter).

Paris 2024 and Milano 2026 will offer new opportunities, and challenges, being so close to Ireland.

Paris: 

For several sports the Olympic qualification journey has already begun, with the three year gap between Games offering little time for recovery.

Team Ireland recces of venues and accommodation is already underway, and the athlete centric approach will ensure that athletes and their performance is front and centre of all plans.
