The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, are a forthcoming international multi-sport event expected to be organized by the International Olympic Committee. Bidding for the host city will begin in 2015, with the winning bid to be announced in 2017 at the 129th IOC Session.

Potential bids

Africa

In March 2011 the Moroccan Government confirmed that they would begin construction of an 80,000-seat stadium in preparation for a bid for either the 2024 or 2028 Summer Olympics[1]
Durban was the most likely South African candidate for the 2020 Summer Olympics, before the country withdrew its bid.[2] There is a possibility that it will bid for the 2024 or 2028 Summer Olympics.[3] Sam Ramsamy, an IOC member from South Africa stated in 2012 that the country would bid for the 2024 Olympics.[4][5]

Asia

Baku submitted a bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics and later submitted a bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics. Baku failed to become a candidate both times. Upon failing to become a candidate for the 2020 Games it was stated that Baku would "come back again next time even stronger".[6][7]
Taiwan's capital and the country's largest city may put in a bid in accordance with a campaign promise made by then presidential candidate Ma Ying-jeou while he was running for President in 2008. It is seen as the culmination of a build-up in hosting sporting events for Taipei and the rest of Taiwan. Taipei hosted the 2009 Deaflympics while Kaohsiung hosted the 2009 World Games.[8] Taipei is hosting the 2017 Summer Universiade. In 2011 President Ma-Ying-jeou stated once again that Taiwan will bid for the 2024 Games.[9]
Kuala Lumpur will host the 127th IOC Session in 2015. The city may bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Kuala Lumpur was seen as a potential bidder for the 2020 Olympics but no bid was made.[10] The city bid for the 2008 Summer Olympics but failed to become a candidate.
Doha bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics as well as the 2020 Summer Olympics. After Doha failed to become a candidate for the 2020 Games it was stated that Doha looks "forward to the 2024 race".[11]
Dubai was considering a bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics, though they now instead plan on bidding for the 2024 Games.[12]

Europe

For the first time, the third largest city in France, after Paris, with a population of 850,000 is planning a bid for the 2024. Located on the southeast coast of France, Marseille co-hosts the Euro 2016 with Paris, was designated by the European Union "European Capital of Culture" with Košice in 2013 [13] and The 6th World Water Forum will be held in Marseille in 2012.
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 former French Minister of Sports, Jean-Francois Lamour, had made it clear that 2024 represents a choice objective for a Parisian bid. €35 million will be planned to build new sports venues around Paris in order to improve quality of the future Parisian bid.[13][14][15] The city decided not to bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics on July 12th 2011 after Annecy's 2018 Winter Olympics bid was rejected, and claimed that Paris would bid for the 2024 summer edition instead.[16]
Berlin hosted the 1936 Summer Olympics. There is interest in a potential 2024 bid.
Aside from Berlin, Hamburg is also interested in a potential bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Rome withdrew its bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics, however there had been mention of postponing the bid for 2024.[18]
The Dutch city of Amsterdam showed interest to bid for the Games.[19] Amsterdam hosted the 1928 Summer Olympics. In November 2011, Amsterdam was awarded the 2016 European Athletics Championships.[20]
Saint Petersburg is weighing up a bid to bring the 2024 Summer Games to Russia. Marat Bariev of the Olympic Committee added that the plans were still at an early stage and there were potential rival bidders within Russia: Kazan, building on its Universiade development.[21] In October 2011, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak stated that Saint Petersburg "is up to the task of holding the Summer Games of 2024." [22]
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister, Borys Kolesnikov, stated that in the case that Ukraine successfully co-hosts the UEFA Euro 2012 with Poland, it may potentially place a bid for hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics. Kiev was one of the host cities of UEFA Euro 2012 and is the city where the final match was held.[23] Ukraine is also interested in a bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

North America

On 10 July 2007 it was revealed that the Canadian Olympic Committee had begun work on a bid for the 2024 games for Toronto, the largest city in Canada.[24] This would be Toronto's third bid for the Summer Olympic games, after a third place (to Atlanta, US and Athens Greece) bid for the 1996 games and second place (to Beijing, China) bid for the 2008 games. Toronto has been actively working on hosting the Summer Olympics since 1986.[25] The 1976 Summer Olympics were the last time the Summer Olympics were held in Canada. On 11 August 2011, the Toronto's Mayoral office announced it would not be pursuing a bid for the 2020 games.[26] As of September 2011 it was reported that there was still talk of Toronto bidding for the 2024 Games.[27] On June 8, 2012, the Toronto City Council voted overwhelmingly in favour of pursuing a 2024 Olympic bid and asked for a staff report on pursuing the 2024 games, with the study expected to be done by March 2013.[28][29] Toronto has also already stated interest in pursuing the 2025 Expo.[30] Toronto successfully bid for the 2015 Pan American Games and is currently spending $1.4 billion upgrading the existing, extensive sports facilities of Toronto.[31] At the end of the 2011 Pan American Games, Allen Vansen, who serves as senior vice president of operations for the 2015 Pan American Games stated that if Toronto does a good job at hosting the Pan Am games that Toronto could make a future bid as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil had done with the 2007 Pan American Games and then the 2016 Summer Olympics.[32] The bid organizers for the 2015 Pan American Games are planning on launching a campaign for bringing the 2024 Olympics to Toronto[33]. Like with Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, IOC President Jacques Rogge has stated that successfully hosting the Pan American Games could help Toronto to finally land the Olympic Games.[34]
Mexican President Felipe Calderon stated that Mexico will pursue a bid for a future Summer Olympic Games. He declared this at a meal with the Mexican athletes that won a medal at the Pan American Games: Guadalajara 2011.[35] Following the closing of the 2011 Pan American Games, Jalisco Governor Emilio Gonzalez Marquez stated that Guadalajara will bid for the Olympic Games following the city's organization of the Pan American Games. [36] Guadalajara, however, has been considered by many to be devoid of the proper infrastructure and security necessary to host the games, as was the case when the city hosted the Pan American Games in 2011.[37] Guadalajara is currently bidding to host the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.
By 2024 it will have been 28 years since the United States staged the Summer Olympics in Atlanta in 1996. New York City bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics and lost to London. Chicago made a bid for the 2016 Games but lost to Rio de Janeiro. The United States did not bid for the 2020 Olympics. In July 2012 the USOC ruled out bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics and is focusing on bidding for the 2024 Summer Olympics or the 2026 Winter Olympics. [38]
On August 5, 2012, it was reported that Dan Knise, President and CEO of the Washington-Baltimore 2012 Regional Coalition, which bid unsuccessfully for the 2012 Summer Games was scoping the level of interest for a joint DC-Baltimore bid for the 2024 Summer Games. According to the Baltimore Sun, Knise believes that "there's a little bit of a spark" for another attempt at securing the bid.[39] The Sun also quoted John Moag Jr., a previous chairman of the Maryland Stadium Authority, in stating that the Baltimore-Washington area has "the largest sports infrastructure in a 40-mile radius."[40] [41] In addition, by 2016 Dulles International Airport will be connected by subway to Washington, D.C. via the Silver Line.
Chicago bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics but lost out to Rio de Janeiro. Chicago was initially awarded the 1904 Summer Olympics but the games were transfered to St. Louis. They also bid for the 1952 and 1956 Summer Olympics but lost to Helsinki and Melbourne respectively. After the USOC reached a new revenue sharing agreement with the IOC, Chicago was mentioned as a possible bidder for the 2024 Games.[42][43]
When the USOC reached a new revenue sharing agreement with the IOC, Dallas was mentioned as a potential candidate for the 2024 Summer Olympics, as it has many Olympic caliber venues suitable for the Olympic Games.[44]
Los Angeles hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics. If Los Angeles were to host the 2024 Olympics, it would become the second city after London to host the Olympic Games three times. Los Angeles bid to become the US applicant city for the 2016 Summer Olympics, however the USOC selected Chicago instead. In September 2011 Los Angeles was awarded the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games.[45] In November of 2011 a delegation from Los Angeles attended a seminar at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne for cities interested in bidding on future Olympic Games.[46] In February 2012, Los Angeles hosted the 5th IOC World Conference on Women and Sport. At the conference Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and IOC Member Anita DeFrantz stated that the city would be interested in hosting for a third time.[47]
New York bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics but lost out to London. Upon the USOC reaching a new revenue sharing agreement with the IOC, New York has been mentioned as a potential candidate and a favorite for the United States in the 2024 Summer Olympics.[42][48]
Philadelphia has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[49] Philadelphia mounted a serious effort in 2007 to land the 2016 games and was one of five finalist U.S. cities. Since 2008, Philadelphia has hosted several U.S. Olympic trial events and hosted the International Fencing Federation meeting in 2011, which included several IOC delegates.[50] Philadelphia bid for the 1920, 1948, 1952 and 1956 Summer Olympics, losing to Antwerp, London, Helsinki and Melbourne respectively.
San Francisco was looking to bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics but pulled its bid before the USOC decided on which city to put forth as an applicant to the IOC. San Francisco has been seen as an "attractive city" by IOC members. San Francisco bid to host the 1956 Summer Olympics but lost to Melbourne.[43]
The Tulsa Olympics Exploratory Committee is currently exploring a bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics and are expected to place an official bid in 2015 with USOC consent. The Tulsa Olympics Exploratory Committee is currently suggesting a Native American theme for 2024.[51]

Oceania

By 2024 it will have been 24 years since Australia and the Oceania region last hosted the Summer Olympics, as Sydney hosted the 2000 Summer Olympics.
Brisbane has been pre-selected by the Australian Olympic Committee as a likely Australian bid city.[52] The bid has been endorsed by former Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and Former Brisbane Lord Mayor, incumbent Premier Campbell Newman. The President of the IOC Jacques Rogge has also mentioned that Brisbane would have a high chance of receiving the games.[53] Brisbane has hosted several major sporting events including the 1982 Commonwealth Games and the 2001 Goodwill Games. The city also hosted events during the 1987 Rugby World Cup, 1992 Cricket World Cup, the 2003 Rugby World Cup and hosted the Final of the 2008 Rugby League World Cup. The city previously bid for the 1992 Olympics, coming 3rd to Barcelona and Paris. Brisbane's neighboring Gold Coast will host the 2018 Commonwealth Games[54] with Brisbane hosting the sports of shooting and track cycling for the event.
Melbourne is considering a bid for either the 2024 or 2028 Summer Olympics. The only major venue that would need to be constructed would be a rowing and canoeing course. The city hosted the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games. It already has the infrastructure in place to host such an event.[55]

Broadcasting

South Korea's SBS is the first television network to secure the broadcasting deals for these Games.[56]
