Long Beach will host Greece’s Team House during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Hellenic Olympic Committee selected the city as its base for cultural exhibitions and gatherings, highlighting the strong local Greek community. The Team House will serve as a hub for connections, cultural exchange, and a celebration of Greece’s Olympic legacy.
Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson expressed excitement, detailing that Greece’s historic contribution to the Olympics will not only enrich the city’s cultural landscape but also bring heightened enthusiasm for the games. "It is an honor to be selected by the Hellenic Olympic Committee as the location for their Team House for the 2028 Games,” Richardson told the official city website. Greece’s presence in Long Beach is expected to bring excitement while highlighting its historical and cultural significance.
The City of Long Beach announced that the Hellenic Olympic House will serve as more than a meeting space. It will host Greek-themed events, art exhibitions, and opportunities to meet athletes, offering a glimpse into Greece’s history and culture while celebrating the Olympic ideals of excellence, friendship, and respect.
The City of Long Beach helps connect National Olympic Committees with property owners, but does not fund or operate Team Houses. Instead, it provides logistical and public safety support as part of its special events coordination. The houses are expected to boost local economic activity and offer venues for fans and dignitaries to celebrate their cultures and the Olympic spirit.
