It is noted that a week before the start of the Olympic Games, fans can still attend some of the most famous competitions. According to data provided by the organizing committee, there are still 1.2 million tickets on sale, especially for football, basketball and handball matches.

In particular, as the committee's deputy general director Mikael Aloisio told the press on Wednesday, fans can now purchase more than 50 thousand new tickets for the events. covering more than 30 sports disciplines. The initiative will also provide several additional places for the swimming and athletics finals, which are traditionally in high demand.

According to the CEO, more than 60% of tickets were sold in France, and countries such as Spain and Italy are among the top three in terms of ticket sales for these Olympic Games.
