Quick Summary

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that India and Qatar are among seven countries bidding to host the 2036 Olympics. The IOC will decide on the winner through a vote of its more than 100 members in 2029, returning to their traditional process after Brisbane was selected as the host for 2032 without a contested vote. India’s bid focuses on Ahmedabad, which will host the Commonwealth Games in 2030, while Qatar, having already hosted the FIFA World Cup, is considering expanding its bid to include neighboring Gulf countries.

Story summary

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Tuesday that India and Qatar, along with five other countries, are bidding to host the 2036 Summer Olympics. The IOC's decision will be made by a contested vote of its over 100 members in 2029. India’s bid centers around the city of Ahmedabad, which is set to host the Commonwealth Games in 2030 and already boasts the world's largest cricket stadium named after Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Other countries interested include South Africa, South Korea, Germany, Hungary, and Turkey, with some considering bids for future Olympic editions up to 2044. IOC President Kirsty Coventry emphasized that athletes must remain at the core of all Olympic decisions. The deadline for other national bodies to enter the race was set as October 31.
