The Minister will be attending athletics, boxing and golf this week, with further events planned later in the month to mark the record-breaking performance at the Games.
Speaking ahead of his visit, the Minister said: “As Sports Minister it is a real privilege to cheer on our local athletes at what has already proved to be our best Olympic Games.
“This is a time of unprecedented success for Northern Ireland on the world stage, with a record-breaking medal haul in the bag already from our athletes in both Team GB & NI and Team Ireland.
“I had the opportunity to catch up with some of our top athletes a few weeks ago as they prepared for the Games. I want to pay tribute to all their hard work and sacrifice and I am pleased to have this chance to mark their success and to express our shared pride in what they have achieved.
“They are an inspiration to us all and I have no doubt that they will encourage more people, of all ages and abilities to get involved in sport and become more active, more often.”
