Fans cheer for Indian athletes participating at Paris Olympics 2024

Paris, July 27: Fans gathered outside the India House on day one of the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024 to cheer for the Indian athletes participating in the multi-sport event on Saturday.

The Indian fans gathered in huge numbers to back the Indian contingent. The fans were also seen dancing to the tunes of Dhol.

India took a bold step forward in its global sporting ambitions with the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympics.

This landmark initiative aimed to propel India towards becoming a dominant force in global sports, fostering greater success at the Olympics, and charting a course towards hosting the Games in the future.

India House falls under the ambitions of the Reliance Foundation and the Indian Olympic Association’s (IOA) long-term partnership, which aims to elevate the performances of Indian athletes, support the national sports federations, and build the credentials of India as a global sporting nation, with an aspiration to host the Olympic Games in the future.

A cornerstone feature of the Olympic Games, Olympic Hospitality Houses serve as a platform for participating countries to showcase their culture, hospitality, and national pride to athletes, media, visitors, and supporters. These houses serve as a space for fans to celebrate and support their athletes/ teams during competitions, and act as a “home away from home” for athletes and their families during the Games.
