It was announced at a press conference by the NOC at the Shindagha Museum in Dubai, attended by representatives of the sports federations participating at Paris 2024 and a large presence of local and foreign media representatives. 

Faris Mohammed Al Mutawaa, Secretary General of the NOC, thanked His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and President of the National Olympic Committee, for his support and guidance to the UAE team participating in the Paris Olympic Games and for his keen direction to provide all facilities to help the athletes perform their role in the best possible way. 

Al Mutawaa continued, "I would like to congratulate the sports federations participating in the Paris Games who have worked diligently over the past four years to reach this historic moment awaited by athletes from all over the world to compete against each other and confirm their merit and eligibility to be present at this prominent event. Congratulations to all." 

"I reiterate my confidence in the participating athletes, on whom we are relying heavily to repeat the successes of 2004 and 2016, and to further consolidate the country's position and presence in the Olympic forums, especially as this edition will for the first time include many motivating factors, such as the equal participation of men and women, the Opening Ceremony outside an stadium and other aspects that give the Paris Games a special historical character." 

The Secretary General of the NOC said, "I am honoured to announce the opening of the UAE House in Paris, with authentic national heritage and historical and cultural legacies of which we are proud to be a part. It will provide a unique experience for all visitors to discover the inspiring journey of the Union, and experience Emirati hospitality." 

"The UAE House will be open daily from 10am to 8pm, free of charge, from 27 July to 11 August, offering a wide range of activities and events, with a special programme for visits by UAE Olympians. I am also pleased to invite the country's sports councils to support the UAE delegation to Paris 2024, attend the competitions and visit the UAE House," he added. 

The NOC presented the UAE Olympic House for the Paris 2024 Games, located on Rue Cambon in Paris. Inspired by the concept of "home," it embodies the essence of a traditional Emirati home. Visitors will follow a path that integrates the experiences of home and sport, connecting them to the UAE.

The swimming and judo events will begin on 28 July with Maha Abdullah Al Shehi competing in the 200m freestyle race at the Paris La Défense Arena, and Bashirat Kharoudi competing in the women's under 52 kg judo event at the Champ de Mars Arena.

Hamed Al Russi, the national volleyball referee, expressed his pride and honour to be the only Arab-Asian referee at the event. He wished the UAE delegation success and hoped to represent the nation in the best possible way. This will be the 11th time the UAE has taken part in the Olympic Games, starting with Los Angeles in 1984. Since then, the UAE has participated continuously in the event until the latest edition in Tokyo in 2021. 

The 2004 edition in Athens is one of the most significant Olympic moments in the UAE's history, when Sheikh Ahmed bin Hasher Al Maktoum won the gold medal in the double trap shooting event with a score of 189 points, the country's first medal. The UAE flag was raised again at Rio 2016 when judoka Sergio Toma won bronze in the under 81kg category.
