The Olympic Aquatics Centre is set to serve as the location for the Main Press Centre (MPC) for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

The planned 6,000-capacity venue in Seine-Saint-Denis is one of the new facilities under construction for Paris 2024, and is set to serve as a venue for artistic swimming, diving and water polo at the Olympics.

No competition is planned to be held at the venue during the Paralympics, but the Organising Committee Board of Directors has approved a proposal to use it as the MPC for the duration of the Games.

This decision is subject to ratification by the International Paralympic Committee's governing bodies in January.

The MPC for the Paris 2024 Olympics is set to be the Palais des Congrès at Porte Maillot.

The Parc des Expositions du Bourget had initially been set to serve as the MPC for the Olympics and Paralympics at Paris 2024, but plans to relocate were revealed in July.

The International Broadcast Centre, which hosts around 15,000 people including Olympic Broadcasting Services, official broadcasters, journalists and technical teams, has been confirmed at the Paris Le Bourget Parc des Expositions in Seine-Saint-Denis during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Olympic Aquatics Centre in Seine-Saint-Denis is set to be connected to the Stade de France, a venue for athletics at the Paralympics.

After the Games, its capacity is set to reduce to 2,500 and become what organisers describe as a "vast multi-sports facility open to all".

The Paris 2024 Paralympics are scheduled for August 28 to September 8, following on from the Olympics from July 26 to August 11.
