IOC Confirms India, Qatar Among 7 Bidders Who Want to Host 2036 Olympics
The IOC will assess bids on venue plans, funding and public support as it restores a contested selection process for the 2036 Games.
- The International Olympic Committee published a handbook on Tuesday for potential 2036 Games hosts, identifying Germany, Hungary, India, Qatar, South Korea, South Africa, and Turkey as the seven interested National Olympic Committees.
- IOC President Kirsty Coventry paused the fast-track selection process used for Brisbane when she took office in June 2025, returning to a traditional contested vote scheduled for 2029 to select the host.
- India and Qatar are favored candidates in the contest involving 100 IOC Members, with all contenders assessed on technical factors including funding strategy, public support, and athlete experience.
- After the Oct. 31 deadline for new interested parties, the Future Host Commission will evaluate current projects in November, and the Executive Board will approve a shortlist of candidates in March.
- National Olympic Committees are simultaneously in noncommittal talks for hosting the 2040 and 2044 Summer Games, extending the Olympic Movement's strategic planning well beyond the immediate 2036 cycle.
