Opening Ceremony Transport

To ensure a smooth and safe experience for all athletes and supporters, teams have been split into two transport groups for both the Opening Ceremony arrivals and the return to the Games Village. This helps us manage the flow of 1,600+ people, ensures that our bus fleet can operate efficiently, and supports the catering team who will be serving dinner immediately after your return.  If your club is not listed, this is because you are travelling straight from the Airport to the Opening Ceremony.
