The International Olympic Committee met today, two days before the start of the Summer Olympics in Paris, to choose the host country for the 2030 Winter Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has awarded the 2030 Winter Olympics to France. The winter games will be held in the French Alps on the condition that the country’s next prime minister provides a financial guarantee for the organization of the games.
France has been the only candidate to host, but financial issues have raised questions. The financing situation has been open after the changes in the French government and early parliamentary elections.
President of France Emmanuel Macron told the IOC members in Paris that he will ask the prime minister and the government to be appointed at the end of the ongoing government negotiations to make a financial commitment and at the same time create an Olympic law.
The left-wing coalition that won the parliamentary elections proposed Macron as the new prime minister yesterday Lucie Castetsia.
The venues for the 2030 Winter Olympics are to be organized in the Auvergne-Rhone and Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur regions. In 2026, the Winter Olympics will be held in the Italian Alps in Milan and Cortina.
