IOC Awards 2030 Winter Games to French Alps with Funding Condition

Posted : 24 July 2024

On Wednesday, the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2030 Winter Games to the French Alps, contingent on France providing financial guarantees. The decision followed a pledge from French President Emmanuel Macron, who assured IOC members that he would seek a financial commitment from the next prime minister of France. The assurance is crucial as the country currently lacks a functioning government following inconclusive snap elections.

 

Macron addressed the IOC in Paris, stating that he would urge the new prime minister to secure funding for the Games and establish an Olympic law. Despite France being the sole candidate for the event, uncertainties over financial backing had been a concern due to the political instability in the country.

 

With the Paris Summer Olympics opening in just two days, Macron emphasized France's dedication to hosting the Winter Games. He promised that the new government would prioritize both the financial guarantee and the creation of the Olympic law, underscoring the nation's commitment to integrating the Games into its future plans.

 

Macron expressed a desire for France to demonstrate that the Winter Games are not merely a historical event but an important part of the country's future. He highlighted the significance of showcasing this commitment to the global community.
