Qatar will now also bid to host the Olympics-2036. Qatar has announced this. Qatar hosted the Men's Football World Cup in 2022 and the World Athletics Championship in 2019 and will also host the Asian Games in 2030.
The Qatar Olympic Committee said on Tuesday that it is in constant dialogue with the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Qatar Olympic Committee President Sheikh Juan bin Hamad Al Thani said that we already have 95% of the sports infrastructure ready to host the Olympics and we have a national plan to ensure 100% facilities.
India had also presented its claim before the IOC
India has proposed Ahmedabad's name to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to host the 2036 Olympic Games. Earlier this month, at a meeting held in Lausanne, Switzerland on July 1, the Indian delegation, including the Union Sports Ministry, the Gujarat government and IOA president PT Usha, presented their case to the IOC.
On October 1 last year, the Indian government sent a letter of intent to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) expressing its desire to host the Games. Why was Ahmedabad chosen? This is the first time India has officially announced the name of a city for the Olympics. The Indian Olympic Committee said that hosting the Olympics in Ahmedabad will give 60 crore young Indians a chance to watch the Olympics in the country for the first time. Along with this, India will give the message of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' and make the Olympics a family experience for people around the world.
