Qatar desires to host Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2036 | Olympic Games

Qatar has confirmed its curiosity in internet hosting the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The nation’s Olympic committee (QOC) confirmed on Tuesday it was in “ongoing discussions” with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over staging the Games.

The Middle East nation hosted the lads’s soccer World Cup in 2022.

“This move underscores the State of Qatar’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Olympic and Paralympic Movements and its keen interest in playing an active role in the advancement of global sport,” a QOC assertion mentioned.

Staging a Summer Games within the searing warmth of the Middle East could require a transfer out of the occasion’s conventional slot. The 2022 World Cup was performed in November and December as an alternative of June and July.

Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, president of the QOC and chair of the bid committee, mentioned: “We currently have 95% of the required sports infrastructure in place to host the Games, and we have a comprehensive national plan to ensure 100% readiness of all facilities.

“This plan is rooted in a long-term vision aimed at building a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable legacy. Our objective goes beyond simply organising a successful event, we aim to deliver a global experience that reinforces the values of inclusivity, sustainability and international collaboration.”

The new IOC president, Kirsty Coventry, mentioned final month that her organisation could be reviewing the method for figuring out Games hosts.
