The 2024 Summer Olympics, what will be officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, is an international athletic event that has yet to be organized by the International Olympic Committee. The winning bid should be announced in the summer of 2017.
Potential bids
Europe
Paris, France The French capital was unsuccessful in vying to be the host city for the 1992, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. The year 2024 will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Summer Olympics held in Paris. The French Minister of Sports, Jean-Francois Lamour, had made it clear that 2024 represents a choice objective for a Parisian bid.[1][2]
North America
Philadelphia, United States Larry Needle, executive director of the Philadelphia Sports Congress, said that if Philadelphia wants to host the Olympics, its earliest 'realistic' chance would be the 2024 Summer Games.[3]
Toronto, Canada On July 10, 2007 it was revealed that the Canadian Olympic Committee had begun work on a potential bid for the 2020 or 2024 games for Toronto, the capital of Ontario and largest city in Canada.[4] This would be Toronto's third bid for the summer Olympic games, after unsuccessful bids for the 1996 and 2008 games.
South America
Lima, Peru President of the Peruvian Institute for Sports, Arturo Woodman, said that Peru would try to bid for the 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympic Games.[5]
