Sports in Coventry
Why Coventry?
Based in the heart of the UK and easily accessible from across the world, Coventry’s proven track record, including hosting of the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, and other major sporting events, reinforces its reputation as a capable, welcoming and well-equipped sporting destination. Coventry is perfectly placed in the heart of the UK, offering excellent accessibility for teams, officials and supporters travelling from across the country and overseas.
With fast connections to major motorways, mainline rail services and Birmingham International Airport, getting in and out of the city couldn’t be easier. The Coventry Building Society Arena delivers a premier setting for sport, conferences, exhibitions, live entertainment and is home to Coventry City Football Club. Its versatility and scale make it an ideal hub for major sporting occasions.
Complementing this, the University of Warwick provides award-winning facilities, hotel-style accommodation and world-class sports and wellness amenities - making it a strong base for training camps, sports tournaments and high-performance preparation.
