IOC Selects Brisbane as Priority Candidate for 2032 Olympics

“Today the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) received the report of the commission on the future organizers of the Olympic Games.

The Commission recommended starting a substantive dialogue with the organizing committee "Brisbane-2032" and the National Olympic Committee of Australia (NOCA) on the possible holding of the XXXV Olympic Games.

The Executive Board, after a lively discussion, unanimously approved the recommendation, ”said IOC President Thomas Bach.

Australia and Oceania's commitment to Olympic sports has increased markedly since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, according to the IOC President.

“This is why we see such strong public support.

We decided to take this opportunity to continue talking about returning 32 years later.

We also recognize the strength of the athletes of Australia and Oceania at the Olympic Games in recent decades, ”the IOC official website quoted Bach as saying.

The host of the 2032 Olympics will be named at the IOC session.

Earlier it was reported that the heads of the G7 supported the holding of the Olympics in Tokyo.
