Olympic Games: 27 July - 12 August 2012
Paralympics Games: 29 August - 9 September 2012
The Olympic and Paralympics Games are the world’s greatest sporting event but London 2012 is about more than London and more than sport. It is a Game for London, the UK and the rest of the world, for sport and culture, for volunteers and business.
14,700 athletes are expected to arrive and take part in 771 sporting events over the six week period.
Not all those venues are in London; Wales will host part of the Olympic Football tournament at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, along with Newcastle, Coventry, Glasgow, Manchester and Wembley.
There are 28 teams and 504 athletes involved in the Football alone. There will be 58 matches in 18 days, and the football competition kicks off two days before the Opening Ceremony begins!
Wales will host circa 11 matches in the tournament.
London 2012’s ambition is to create Games for everyone, where everyone is invited to take part, join in and enjoy the most exciting event in the world.
