Saudi Arabia will not be able to take up residence there during the 2024 Olympic Games as initially planned. The Ministry of the Armed Forces confirmed this Tuesday that a letter from the military governor of Paris had reached his Saudi interlocutors to warn them of this change of program.

In February, the ambition was that a Saudi “pavilion” would be established on the site of the French armies for four months covering the period of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, from July 26 to September 8.
