After two weeks of thrilling competitions, the 2026 Winter Olympics will conclude with a spectacular closing ceremony at the Arena di Verona on February 22, 2026.
The Arena di Verona is one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks — a perfectly preserved Roman amphitheater that has hosted concerts, operas, and world-class events for centuries. For one night, this ancient arena will become the stage where athletes from around the world celebrate the end of the Games and the spirit of unity that defines the Olympics.

This setting perfectly reflects Italy’s ability to blend tradition and modernity — from the historic stones of Verona to the futuristic arenas in Milan and the snow-covered slopes of Cortina. Together, they tell the story of a country that lives and breathes sport, art, and culture.
While Verona will host the final celebration, Cortina d’Ampezzo and the Dolomites will have already written the most unforgettable chapters of the Games — where the world’s best skiers and snowboarders compete surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery.
