Potential bids Africa
Nairobi, Kenya During the 2008 Summer Olympics, Kenyan Vice
President Kalonzo Musyoka announced Kenya is considering a bid for the 2028 Games.
It would dovetail with "Vision 2030", when Kenya expects to have the status of a developed
nation.
Casablanca, Morocco In March 2011, the Moroccan Government confirmed
that they would begin construction of an 80,000-seat capacity stadium in preparation for a bid
for either the 2024 or 2028 Summer Olympics.
Abuja, Nigeria Abuja has continuously expressed interest
in hosting international games
Asia New Delhi, India
In 2009 Sports Minister Manohar Singh Gill said that India would not bid for the 2020
Summer Olympic Games despite organising the 2010 Commonwealth Games,1951 Asian Games & 1982
Asian Games.
Instead they will bid for the 2028 games.
Busan, South Korea At the beginning, Busan wished to bid for
the 2020 Olympics, but postponed it due to the victory of Pyeongchang hosting the 2018
Winter Olympics, which the dates for South Korea to host the Olympics would be too close.
Busan was then interested in bidding for the 2024 Summer Olympics, but again, pushed the
bid for the 2028 Games due to the fact that Tokyo was awarded the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Busan had hosted the 2002 Asian Games, and was one of the host venue cities for 2002
FIFA World Cup.
Busan had also hosted the 2005 APEC Meeting.
Shanghai, China "You can almost predict that this will be
a great World Championship", was the praise awarded by International Olympic Committee
President Jacques Rogge, after witnessing the opening ceremony for the 14th FINA World
Aquatic Championships in Shanghai.
Europe Berlin/Hamburg, Germany
Berlin and Hamburg are planning on bidding for 2024 or 2028.
Saint Petersburg, Russia Saint Petersburg is planning on bidding for
2028.
Amsterdam, Netherlands In 2005, the Dutch sporting confederation
NOC*NSF began considering a submission to bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic
games in the capital of the Netherlands.
On 12 November 2007, Minister of Economic Affairs Maria van der Hoeven launched an investigation
into the possibility of a Dutch bid.
The 2028 Summer Olympics will come 100 years after the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam,
the only Games held in the Netherlands thus far, and they would like to mark the centennial.
Amsterdam previously bid for the 1992 Summer Olympics.
In November 2011, Amsterdam was awarded the 2016 European Athletics Championships.
Amsterdam hopes that being awarded the European Athletics Championships can help their proposal
to bid for the 2028 Games.
In October 2012 the new established government announced that is not the target anymore to
get the games to the Netherlands because of economical risk of the event but they make
their final decision in 2016.
On 30 May 2013 the Dutch NOC announced "Amsterdam will bid for the 2028 Olympics on its own
with Rotterdam as a partner city if the Dutch NOC decides to pursue its Olympic ambition
in the coming years."
Budapest, Hungary Budapest has said that they feel that they
have a realistic chance at hosting the games in 2028, and will possibly submit a bid for
the 2024 games to gain experience.
Madrid, Spain Madrid is planning on bidding for 2028, 2032
or 2036, but the city won't bid for the 2024 Olympic Games.
North America Guadalajara, Mexico
Guadalajara is planning on bidding in 2028.
The last Olympics to be held in Mexico were the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.
Toronto, Canada Toronto had interest in bidding for the 2024
Summer Olympics, however on 20 January 2014, it was revealed that Toronto would not be
pursuing a 2024 Summer Olympics bid due to bidding costs and a "next to no" chance of
being awarded the games competing against a strong European and United States bid.
Instead, mayor Rob Ford and deputy mayor Norm Kelly suggested that 2028 could be a feasible
opportunity for Toronto depending on who is awarded the 2024 Summer games.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Seattle, Washington, USA
A joint bid for Vancouver and Seattle to host the 2028 Summer Olympics is being explored.
This would be the first time 2 countries made a bid together and, should Beijing not be
awarded the 2022 Winter Olympics, would also be the first time that a city will have hosted
both a Summer and a Winter Games since Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Vancouver and Seattle both believe it would be possible to do and have said that the travel
time between Seattle and Vancouver is similar to the travel time between Whistler, British
Columbia and Vancouver, the site of most of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Multinational bids have been explored in the past by various border regions but are not
allowed under the current Olympic Charter, which would need to be amended for a Vancouver-Seattle
bid to proceed.
Oceania Brisbane, Australia
Brisbane is considering a bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics.
The city has the backing of the AOC and has support from IOC vice president John Coates.
