Holland Heineken House

The Holland Heineken House is a temporary meeting place for supporters, athletes and other followers at the Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics. There has been a Holland Heineken House at all the Olympic Games since 1992 in Barcelona, organized by Heineken and NOC*NSF.[1]

The name Holland Heineken House has been chosen due to the alliteration and for the international appearance, despite the incorrect naming of the country involved. It was made with the purpose to have a place for the Dutch athletes to meet and greet and was expanded to a meeting place for supporters and became the basis for NOC*NSF, companies and the media.
