Team USA House (TUSAH)#
What?
TUSAH is a hospitality experience created specifically for Team USA athletes, alumni, coaches, families, friends, NGBs, donors, corporate partners and VIPs, and has served as a “home away from home” during the Olympic Games since 2002. TUSAH has provided athletes with an opportunity to connect, reflect and relax with their special guests, celebrate and cheer on Team USA, and enjoy some down time following competition and their rigorous training schedules. It has also provided the USOPC an exclusive option to entertain key business clients, stakeholders and prospective business interests in an environment that uniquely celebrates Team USA, and American culture and cuisine. Paris 2024 represents the first time ever that TUSAH will be open during both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and also marks the first time that tickets and packages will be available for purchase to the general public through On Location.
