PM Modi Seeks Athlete Input On India’s 2036 Olympic Bid

After announcing India’s aspiration to host the 2036 Olympics in his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked Indian athletes for their input to ensure smooth preparations.

India will be bidding to host the Olympic Games in 2036. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has also initiated the dialogue process with the Future Host Commission (FHC).

PM Modi invited the entire Indian contingent from the Paris Olympics to join the Independence Day celebrations at his residence in New Delhi. While addressing them, he stated, “India is preparing to host the 2036 Olympics. In this regard, the input from athletes who have played in previous Olympics is very important. You all must have observed and experienced many things. We want to document this and share it with the government so that we don’t miss out on any small details in the preparation for 2036.”

Further, PM Modi referred to the Indian contingent as an integral part of his “2036 team” and asked the sports ministry to draft a document and thoroughly consider player comments and suggestions.

PM Modi also urged athletes to offer suggestions on how to improve Indian sports further. He noted, “Your feedback and suggestions are very important because it’s your responsibility to guide those who will represent the country in the future. You should interact with players on social media. The Sports Ministry can also organise such sessions in different places.”

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) allots the hosting rights for Olympics through a detailed host selection process. The IOC has a dedicated body, the Future Host Commission, which deals with this subject.

The interested National Olympic Committees (NOCs) are required to initiate a dialogue with the FHC. FHC subsequently becomes a continuous dialogue and finally, a targeted dialogue with the selected NOCs. Once the FHC completes this dialogue, the IOC Executive Board holds an election. Wherein the members vote for the award of the hosting rights for the concerned Olympic Games.
