The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games provide a once in a lifetime opportunity for Coventry and Warwickshire to join in and be part of the biggest sporting events in the World.
Coventry is immensely proud to have the honour of being an Olympic co-host City after being selected to be the Midlands Venue for Olympic Football in 2012. Our vision to be part of London 2012 is to maximise this once in a life time opportunity and provide everyone in Coventry & Warwickshire with their own Olympic experience.
London 2012 is more than just a sporting event and more than just a Games for the capital. London 2012 is Everyone's Games and outside of London, Coventry and Warwickshire is leading the way to be part of and join in with London 2012.

In 2012, we will encourage everyone to have their own Olympic Moment, uniting Coventry & Warwickshire and making our region come alive in this national celebration. We aim to capture the inspiration of the Games and use it to encourage individuals, sports clubs, schools, businesses and any organisation to challenge themselves to be the best they can be, and to be part of the greatest sporting events in the World.
