Located in north-west Baku, the Village is expected to house around 10,000 athletes and officials throughout the 17-day spectacle.

The Village comprises 13 buildings, 1,042 apartments, 16 different types of apartments with three to four bedrooms per apartment and a total of 7,510 beds.

Extensive experience gained through Azerbaijan's participation in five Summer and four Winter Olympics during its 22 years of independence has allowed organisers to design a state-of-the-art facility that will provide a secure, comfortable, friendly and stress-free environment for those competing at Baku 2015.
