2032 Summer Olympics

The full composition of the Summer Commissions, oversee interested hosts, or with potential hosts where the IOC may want to create interest, is as follows:[3]

According to Future Host Commission terms of reference with rules of conduct, the new IOC bidding system is divided to 2 dialogue stages are:[4]

• Continuous Dialogue: Non-committal discussions between the IOC and Interested Parties (City/Region/Country/NOC interested in hosting) with regard to hosting future Olympic events.
• Targeted Dialogue: Targeted discussions with one or more Interested Parties (called Preferred Host(s)), as instructed by the IOC Executive Board. This follows a recommendation by the Future Host Commission as a result of Continuous Dialogue.

• Mumbai, India

During a meeting with the IOC President Thomas Bach, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Narinder Batra expressed India's interest in hosting the 2032 Summer Olympics with Mumbai as the host city. Bach on response said India has the ability to host the event but advised to wait until the bidding procedure starts.[5][6][7][8] India has already submitted their official interest to bid for the 2032 Games. Rajeev Mehta, Secretary-General of the IOA, said that they were very serious about bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympics and they had already submitted a letter of expression of interest of hosting the Games to the IOC.[9] On 30 December 2019, Indian Olympic Association secretary Rajeev Mehta said that the IOA had ratified the decision during their Annual General Meeting to bid for the event and requires the support of the Indian Government.[10] India will also be hosting the 140th IOC Session in 2023 in Mumbai. [11]In February 2020 IOC member John Coates stated that India had abandoned its bid for hosting the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics and would concentrate to bid for 2026 Summer Youth Olympics.[12] Batra denied Coates's claims and stated that he was misquoted and that they are still looking to bid for the 2032 Games.[13] In May 2020, Batra said in a statement that the country will step up its efforts to bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics once the COVID-19 pandemic eases.[14] India is also bidding to host the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.[15]

• Jakarta, Indonesia

On 1 September 2018, the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, announced in a meeting in Bogor with the presidents of the IOC and the Olympic Council of Asia that Indonesia will bid to host the 2032 Olympics following the major success of the 2018 Asian Games and Para Games.[16][17] On 19 February 2019, Indonesia made the 2032 Olympics bid official, as letters from President Joko Widodo and Indonesian Olympic Committee were delivered to the IOC in Lausanne.[18] In November 2020, President Joko Widodo has instructed his cabinet members to prepare a road map for the country's bid to host the 2032 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. This decision was meant to demonstrate the seriousness and the commitment of Indonesian government to bring the Summer Olympics to Southeast Asia for the first time, thus Indonesia is set to compete with other countries in the bidding process.[19]

• Doha, Qatar

Qatar has announced that Doha will bid for the 2032 Games. It would be the first Olympic Games in the Arab world. Qatar has hosted several events including the 1988 AFC Asian Cup, 2006 Asian Games, 2011 AFC Asian Cup, 2015 World Men's Handball Championship, and the 2019 World Athletics Championships. The country will also host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, 2023 FINA World Aquatics Championships, 2023 World Judo Championships and 2030 Asian Games. Qatar is also bidding for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.[20]

• Rhine-Ruhr, Germany (with sailing venue in Kiel)

The German state of North Rhine-Westphalia has revealed a plan to host the 2032 Games in 13 cities. The cities listed were Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Cologne, Bonn, Aachen, Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Krefeld, Leverkusen, Mönchengladbach, Oberhausen and Recklinghausen. Over 90 per cent of required venues are already available, including 16 stadiums with a capacity of more than 30,000 seats and 24 large sports halls. This is also the first time a bid has taken place in so many cities.[21] Three of these cities already hosted the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Sailing events could be hosted in Kiel, which won a referendum on the 2024 bid at the same time when Hamburg narrowly lost it.[22] However, the suitable athletics stadiums are found in Berlin and Munich with their former olympic stadiums, and there have been challenges to find a venue for track and field events. There have also been suggestions of temporary stadium expansions for up to 50,000 spectators, which would be dismantled after the games or decreased in capacity for domestic use. The only prospective option is the expansion of the FC Köln home stadium, Rhein-Energie Stadion, from 49,996 to 73,000 seats, giving it enough capacity for athletic competitions. It could be accomplished with a temporary lower-stand covering platform for up to 40,000 people, similar to Hampden Park in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The likely venue for ceremonies in any case of athletics venue is the Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion) football stadium in Dortmund with 66,000 seats. [23]

• Madrid, Spain

On 17 June 2019, the newly elected Mayor of Madrid José Luis Martínez-Almeida announced that they would explore a bid for the 2032 games.[24] It would be the 40th anniversary of 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona, the 50th anniversary for the first royal sport event (the 1982 FIFA World Cup, which both cities hosted), and politically, 220th anniversary of the First Constitution's adoption. Madrid has no venues for water sports, velodrome or large permanent athletics stadium, thus aquatic centre from 2012, 2016 and 2020 bids is searching a way already years to be completed. Therefore with Agenda 2020 circumstances, these events may need to be staged outside of Madrid, although athletic competitions could be held in Metropolitano Stadium with track and field platform and 40,000 seats instead of Seville and Barcelona Olympic stadiums. [25]

• Southeast Queensland, Queensland, Australia

Following the success of the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Queensland, President of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) John Coates said he strongly supported a bid from Queensland for the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.[26] Following speculation, a feasibility study was also commissioned by the Southeast Queensland Council of Mayors with the outcome due back by the end of 2018.[27] A 2019 feasibility study commissioned by South-East Queensland Council of Mayors back in 2016, and investigated by French company Lagardère on South East Queensland's eligibility to host the 2032 Olympic games concluded the region was capable of hosting the event, and that infrastructure and transport upgrades already needed would provide a financial return. The feasibility report notes that 80 per cent of the venues needed for such a bid already exist across the south-east, with others predicted to be constructed before 2032 in line with community needs. The document suggests Brisbane would be host of 21 Olympic venues, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast would both host 5 venues, with the remaining 7 venues to be hosted within the SEQ region. SEQ Mayors including then Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk made emphasis on the need to make the games cost effective through reusing existing facilities and using the event as a catalyst for infrastructure and job creation.[28][29] A feasibility study which was published in February forecasted that $900 million of state and federal funds would be needed to help host the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.[30] On 1 July 2019, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, made an announcement that the Federal government would be officially supporting the Queensland Olympic bid, saying the government "will be there every step of the way".[31] On 13 July 2019, the Prime Minister put forward 10 million dollars towards the bid, as well as nominating Queensland LNP federal MP Ted O'Brien to help with the bid on behalf of the Commonwealth.[32] Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on 9 December 2019 that the state will make an official and regional bid for the 2032 Olympic Games with proposed dates of 23 July to 8 August.[33]

• Seoul-Pyongyang, Korea

North and South Korea announced that they will pursue a joint bid to host the 2032 Olympic Games in a statement released on 19 September 2018, following a summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.[34] It was reported that both of the countries will host a forum on the 2032 Summer Games on 15 February, in Lausanne, Switzerland to discuss it.[35] They have released that the initial proposed cost of hosting the games would be at $3.44 billion.[36] However, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has found that North Korea's testing program is non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code;[37] if this position is still the case in 2032, the requirement that any country submitting a bid be in compliance with WADA’s code mean the bid could collapse.[38]

• Istanbul, Turkey

On 8 June 2020, the Vice-President of the Turkish Olympic Committee (TNOC) Hazan Arat said "Istanbul should be a candidate city for the 2032 Summer Olympic Games." Istanbul bid unsuccessfully for the 2000 Summer Olympics, 2008 Summer Olympics, and the 2020 Summer Olympics.[39]

• Chengdu-Chongqing, China

On 27 November 2020, the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau confirmed that Chengdu and Chongqing have intention of bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympic Games.[40] Chengdu has already hosted the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, and will host the 2021 Summer Universiade and 2025 World Games in the future.

• Shanghai/Shanghai-Hangzhou, China

Shanghai authorities have confirmed they ordered a feasibility study on hosting the 2032 Olympic Games, but say no decision has been made on whether they will launch a bid. Since Beijing hosted the Olympics in 2008, there has been growing speculation that Shanghai would mount a bid to become the second Chinese city to host the Games – or that it could seek to jointly host the event with nearby Hangzhou, in Zhejiang Province.[41]

• Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is the host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics, which have been postponed until July-August 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the pandemic forces cancellation of the rescheduled event, Tokyo officials may request that the IOC award the 2032 Games to the city following the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2028 Summer Olympics which have already been awarded to Paris and Los Angeles respectively.[42][43]

• North-Central Italy, Italy

In September 2019, Dario Nardella and Virginio Merola, the Mayors of Florence and Bologna respectively, expressed their interest in bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympics.[44] Bologna's city councillor for sport, Matteo Lepore, described the Olympics as "a dream that we can aspire to and achieve".[45] Neither Bologna nor Florence had ever bid for a Summer or a Winter Olympics, but hosted the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Both cities lack suitable venues for the Olympics, so other cities may get involved. The northern part of Italy will host the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.[46]

• Rotterdam-Amsterdam, Netherlands

On 3 February 2020, Gamesbids.com and various Dutch news sources told that the Netherlands plans to bid for the 2032 Summer Games. Belgium and Luxembourg could take part with suitable venues with no capacity to host alone. [47]

• London, United Kingdom (possible co-bid with Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Weymouth and Portland)

In February 2019, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and UK Sport expressed their interest in bidding for either the 2032 or 2036 Olympics. The mayor remarked that 2032 'was not out of the question' but 2036 is more likely. It is, however, unclear which year a bid will be made. London hosted the Summer Olympics in 1908, 1948, and 2012 and has been successful in every bid submitted.[48][49]

• Budapest, Hungary

On 27 January 2021, the Hungarian Olympic Comittee announced they would be exploring the possibiity of Budapest bidding for hosting the Olympic Games in 2032.[50] The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that he would "like to live to see Hungary hosting the Olympics", which is certainly a boost to hopes of a 2032 bid. The Budapest 2032 Committee will be led by Attila Szalay-Berzeviczy, who was the former President of the Budapest Stock Exchange. Hungary has never hosted the Olympics before, but bid unsuccessfully many times for 1916, 1920, 1936, 1944, 1960 and most recently 2024, which it awarded to Paris.[51] HOC president Krisztián Kulcsár said: “In 2021 we arrived to year in which the Hungarian Olympic Committee has to address the tasks preceding candidacy for and hosting the 2032 Olympic Games and has to set up a respective team, otherwise the Hungarian Olympic Committee would not do its job properly”. Hungary has also won the most Olympic medals for any nation to have never hosted the world’s biggest quadrennial sports event.[52]

• Montreal-Toronto, Canada

On 3 February, 2021, the Journal de Montreal reported that the Canadian Olympic Committee was exploring the possibility of a joint Montreal-Toronto bid for either the 2032 or 2036 Summer Olympics. [53] Potential venues include those used for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto. [54]

• St. Petersburg, Kazan and Sochi, Russia

It was stated by Governor Georgy Poltavchenko that St. Petersburg may bid for the Summer Olympics in 2032 or 2036.[55] There is concern with the accusations of state-sponsored doping. The three cities were among 12 hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sochi is the only one which has ever hosted the Olympics among the three, hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics and will host the 2022 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Kazan, but Russia was involved in a doping investigation for lying to WADA inspectors in January 2019, and the World Athletics barred Russian athletes from competing under their banner, pressuring the IOC to do the same in Olympic events. On 26 November 2019, WADA asked the IOC to reject the bid as a punishment for doping sample manipulations made in January. On 9 December, WADA banned Russia from bidding for international events as part of their penalty for state sponsored doping, meaning the bid has been rejected by the IOC.[56][57] However CAS shortened the ban to end in 16 December 2022, meaning Russia playing in own national symbols if its neutral team qualified to 2022 FIFA World Cup medal games in December 17-18 of that year, and if bid process starts in the beginning of the year 2023 or later, will this bid be a serious contender for 2032.

• Guadalajara, Tijuana, and Monterrey, Mexico

Carlos Padilla, president of the Mexican Olympic Committee believes that Guadalajara is one of the four Mexican cities (next to Mexico City, Tijuana and Monterrey) that could seek to host some Olympic games after 2026. In an interview with the ESPN chain the director said that those four cities "have everything" to seek to be headquarters, but not immediately.[58] Guadalajara hosted the 2011 Pan American Games, and bid for the 2022 Gay Games, losing to Hong Kong.
