Rio 2016: Olympic venues overview
Thirty-four competition venues were used for the Olympic Games Rio 2016, all of them remain in use. Fourteen of the competition venues were existing, 13 were new and seven were temporary. One temporary venue remains in use. Five of the venues, all used for football during the Games, were outside Rio de Janeiro.
Even though management and governance issues have emerged following the Games, 8 years later, all Rio 2016’s competition venues host competitions and training for athletes, professional teams and local clubs, and provide residents with opportunities to engage in recreational sports. Some also stage concerts and other events.
The Maracanã Stadium hosted the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and Rio Olympic Stadium the track and field competitions, and they are both regularly in use. The Olympic Village was built for the Games. Most of the buildings remain closed and are not in use.
Situated in Barra da Tijuca in the southwest of the city, the Olympic Village (Ilha Pura) was purchased by Banco Pactual, which is renovating the buildings in sections for sale. The first section was sold and the new section will be launched before Carnival. 1,700 apartments were sold at the end of 2024.
