French term or phrase: Les pôles de références
This seems very vague to me.

It's the second heading of a text on preparations for the Olympic Games...It's actually an advertising brochure for sports facilities in which all national teams can train.

The titles are:
Base de préparation des équipes nationales
Les pôles de références

Toutes les informations pratiques (email and website)

It presents the geographical region where the training facilities are located, as well as the facilities and the sports in which athletes can train. The centre offers complete packaging with housing, transport, facility reservation, etc...

Thanks for any help!

Just some ideas.

Good luck!

In the medical field, this = referral centres ( I believe), but I don't know whether this would fit in this context.
