Candidate cities [edit]
There were five bids for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games confirmed by the International Olympic Committee.[4] Bids were due by March 1, 2012. The list of applicant cities was announced by the IOC on March 2, 2012.
For the first time, Asian NOCs didn't submitted a bid for the Summer Youth Olympics, thus making it the first time that Asia will not bid, and eventually, host the Games. Three European NOCs (Great Britain, The Netherlands and Poland) entered Glasgow, Rotterdam and Poznań bids respectively. American NOCs Argentina, Colombia and Mexico also submitted bids for Buenos Aires, Medellín and Guadalajara respectively. Poznan withdrew their bid in October 2012.
On February 13 2013, the IOC Executive Board selected three candidate cities.[5]
Buenos Aires, Argentina [edit]
On August 30, 2011 Buenos Aires and the Argentine Olympic Committee announced that they will bid for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games.[6] Buenos Aires bid to host the 1956 and 2004 Summer Olympics but lost to Melbourne and Athens respectively.
Glasgow, United Kingdom [edit]
On September 19, 2011, it was announced that Glasgow would submit to the British Olympic Association (BOA) a proposal to bid for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics. Glasgow will host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The city has never made an Olympic bid before.[7] On February 22, 2012 the BOA agreed to put Glasgow forward as the United Kingdom's bidding city for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.[8]
Medellín, Colombia [edit]
The mayor of the city presented the bid on September 15 in Lausanne, following the high standard venues and experiences they had at the 2010 South American Games.[9]
Non selected applicant cities [edit]
Guadalajara, Mexico [edit]
Guadalajara was selected over Monterrey on February 16, 2012 to be put forward as an applicant city.[10][11] Guadalajara bid for the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics but withdrew their bid before the IOC vote due to a poor evaluation report.[12][13] Guadalajara hosted the 2011 Pan American Games.
Rotterdam, Netherlands [edit]
On February 29, 2012, the day before the deadline for bid for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics, it was announced that Rotterdam would be putting forth a bid.[14]
Cancelled bids [edit]
Poznań, Poland [edit]
Upon the announcement by the IOC of who the applicant cities were, Poznań was revealed as one of the bidders. The city bid for the 2010 and 2014 Summer Youth Olympics but lost to Singapore and Nanjing respectively. On 8th of October, the city council rejected the proposal budget of the bid. There were lack of financial guarantees from the city-organizer, so the city withdrew.[15]
Bids which did not go to application [edit]
The following cities proposed putting forth bids, but ultimately failed to do so:
Toulouse, France[16]
Abuja, Nigeria[17][18]
Kaspiysk, Russia[19][20][21][22]
Durban, South Africa[23]
Gothenburg, Malmö or Stockholm, Sweden[24]
