Interested parties which did not advance to IOC board approval[edit]
The following are interested bidding parties for the 2032 Summer Olympics which did not advance to IOC board approval,^[19]one of which took part in targeted dialogue with the IOC and Future Host Commission:
Asia[edit]
Ahmedabad, India
During a meeting with the IOC PresidentThomas Bach,IOAPresident Narinder Batra expressed India's interest in hosting the 2032 Summer Olympics. In response, Bach said India can host the event but advised to wait until the bidding procedure starts.^[20]^[21]^[22]^[23]India has already submitted their official interest to bid for the 2032 Games. Rajeev Mehta, Secretary-General of the IOA, said that they were very serious about bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympics and they had already submitted a letter of expression of interest of hosting the Games to the IOC.^[24]On 30 December 2019, Indian Olympic Association secretary Rajeev Mehta said that the IOA had ratified the decision during their Annual General Meeting to bid for the event and requires the support of theIndian Government.^[25]India will also be hosting the 140thIOC Sessionin 2023 inMumbai.^[26]In February 2020 IOC memberJohn Coatesstated that India had abandoned its bid for hosting the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics and would concentrate to bid for 2026 Summer Youth Olympics.^[27]Batra denied Coates's claims and stated that he was misquoted and that they are still looking to bid for the 2032 Games.^[28]In May 2020, Batra said in a statement that the country will step up its efforts to bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics once theCOVID-19 pandemiceases.^[29]A 230 acre sports complex in Ahmedabad named as theSardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclaveis currently under construction, which could possibly host the Olympics. The cost of the complex is $630 million.^[30]
Jakarta, Indonesia
On 1 September 2018, the President of Indonesia,Joko Widodo, announced in a meeting inBogorwith the presidents of the IOC and theOlympic Council of Asiathat Indonesia will bid to host the 2032 Olympics following the major success of the2018 Asian GamesandPara Games.^[31]^[32]On 19 February 2019, Indonesia made the 2032 Olympics bid official, as letters from President Joko Widodo andIndonesian Olympic Committeewere delivered to the IOC inLausanne.^[33]In November 2020, President Joko Widodo has instructed his cabinet members to prepare a road map for the country's bid to host the 2032 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. This decision was meant to demonstrate the seriousness and the commitment of the Indonesian government to bring the Summer Olympics to Southeast Asia for the first time, thus Indonesia is set to compete with other countries in the bidding process.^[34]
Doha, Qatar
Qatar had announced that Doha would bid for the 2032 Games. It would be the first Olympic Games in theArab world. Qatar has hosted several events including the1988 AFC Asian Cup,2006 Asian Games,2011 AFC Asian Cup,2015 World Men's Handball Championship,2018 World Artistic Gymnastics Championshipsand the2019 World Athletics Championships. The country will also host the2022 FIFA World Cup,2023 FINA World Aquatics Championships,2023 World Judo Championshipsand2030 Asian Games.^[35]
Europe[edit]
Rhine-Ruhr, Germany (with sailing venue inKiel)
The German state ofNorth Rhine-Westphaliarevealed a plan to host the 2032 Games in 13 cities. The cities listed wereDüsseldorf,Dortmund,Cologne,Bonn,Aachen,Duisburg,Essen,Gelsenkirchen,Krefeld,Leverkusen,Mönchengladbach,OberhausenandRecklinghausen. Over 90 per cent of required venues are already available, including 16 stadiums with a capacity of more than 30,000 seats, and also 24 large sports halls. This is also the first time a bid has included such a large number of cities.^[36]Three of these cities were hosts to venues of the2006 FIFA World Cup. Sailing events could be hosted inKiel, which won a referendum on the 2024 bid at the same time whenHamburgnarrowly lost one.^[37]Suitable athletics stadiums are found inBerlinandMunichwith their former Olympic stadiums, however, there have been challenges to find a venue for track and field events in the bid cities. There have also been suggestions of temporary stadium expansions for up to 50,000 spectators, which would be dismantled after the games or decreased in capacity for domestic use. The only prospective option is the expansion ofRhein-Energie Stadion, the home stadium ofFC Köln, from 49,996 to 73,000 seats, giving it enough capacity for the athletics competition. It could be accomplished with a temporary lower-stand covering platform for up to 40,000 people, similar to the expansion in seats atHampden Parkfor the2014 Commonwealth GamesinGlasgow. Regardless of the chosen athletics venue, the likely venue for ceremonies remains theSignal Iduna Parkfootball stadium (Westfalenstadion) inDortmundwith 66,000 seats.^[38]
Madrid, Spain
On 17 June 2019, then newly-elected mayor of MadridJosé Luis Martínez-Almeidaannounced that they would explore a bid for the 2032 games.^[39]^[40]It would mark the 40th anniversary of the1992 Summer Olympicsheld inBarcelonaand the 50th anniversary of the1982 FIFA World Cup. It would also be the first royal sporting event for which both Madrid and Barcelona were host cities and, politically, the 220th anniversary of thefirst constitution's adoption. Madrid has no venues for water sports or velodrome, nor a large permanent athletics stadium. The aquatic centre from the 2012, 2016, and 2020 bids have undergone improvement. Aquatic events could possibly be staged outside of Madrid. Athletic competitions could be held in Madrid'sMetropolitano Stadium.Its track and field platform and 40,000 seats obviates the need for the using theSevilleandBarcelonaOlympic stadiums.^{[citation needed]}
Other bids that did not advance[edit]
Asia[edit]
Chengdu–Chongqing, China
On 27 November 2020, the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau confirmed that Chengdu and Chongqing have the intention of bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympic Games.^[41]Chengdu has already hosted the2007 FIFA Women's World CupandWorld Police and Fire Games 12 years later, and will host the2021 Summer University Gamesand 2025 World Games in the future.
Shanghai/Shanghai–Hangzhou, China
Shanghai authorities have confirmed they ordered a feasibility study on hosting the 2032 Olympic Games but say no decision has been made on whether they will launch a bid. SinceBeijinghosted theOlympics in 2008, there has been growing speculation that Shanghai would mount a bid to become the second Chinese city to host the Games – or that it could seek to host the event with nearby Hangzhou jointly, inZhejiang Province.^[42]
Europe[edit]
Istanbul, Turkey
On 8 June 2020, the Vice-President of theTurkish Olympic Committee(TNOC) Hazan Arat said "Istanbul should be a candidate city for the 2032 Summer Olympic Games."Istanbulbid unsuccessfully for the2000 Summer Olympics,2008 Summer Olympics, and the2020 Summer Olympics, which lost toSydney,BeijingandTokyorespectively.^[43]
North–Central Italy, Italy
In September 2019,Dario NardellaandVirginio Merola, the Mayors ofFlorenceandBolognarespectively, expressed their interest in bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympics.^[44]Bologna's city councillor for sport, Matteo Lepore, described the Olympics as "a dream that we can aspire to and achieve".^[45]Neither Bologna nor Florence had ever bid for a Summer or a Winter Olympics, but hosted the1990 FIFA World Cup. Both cities lack suitable venues for the Olympics, so other cities may get involved. The northern part of Italy will host the2026 Winter OlympicsinMilanandCortina d'Ampezzo.^[46]
Rotterdam–Amsterdam, Netherlands
On 3 February 2020, it was announced that there were discussions on a possible bid for the 2032 Summer Games among athletes and businesses across the Netherlands.^[47]BelgiumandLuxembourgcould take part with suitable venues with no capacity to host alone.
London, United Kingdom (possible co-bid withBirmingham,Manchester,Liverpool,WeymouthandPortland)
In February 2019, the Mayor of LondonSadiq KhanandUK Sportexpressed their interest in bidding for either the 2032 or 2036 Olympics. The mayor remarked that 2032 'was not out of the question' but 2036 is more likely. It is, however, unclear which year a bid will be made. London hosted the Summer Olympics in1908,1948, and2012and has been successful in every bid submitted.^[48]^[49]
Budapest, Hungary
On 27 January 2021, theHungarian Olympic Committeeannounced they would be exploring the possibility of Budapest bidding for hosting the Olympic Games in 2032.^[50]The Hungarian Prime MinisterViktor Orbánsaid that he would "like to live to see Hungary hosting the Olympics", which is certainly a boost to hopes of a 2032 bid. The Budapest 2032 Committee will be led by Attila Szalay-Berzeviczy, the former President of the Budapest Stock Exchange.Hungaryhas never hosted the Olympics before, but bid unsuccessfully many times for 1916, 1920, 1936, 1944, 1960, and most recently 2024, which it awarded toParis.^[51]HOC president Krisztián Kulcsár said: “In 2021 we arrived to year in which the Hungarian Olympic Committee has to address the tasks preceding candidacy for and hosting the 2032 Olympic Games and has to set up a respective team, otherwise the Hungarian Olympic Committee would not do its job properly”. Hungary has also won the most Olympic medals for any nation to have never hosted the world’s biggest quadrennial sports event.^[52]
Salla, Finland
In January 2021, the mayor of Salla, Erkki Parkkinen, launched a bid to host the Olympic Games in 2032 to raise awareness of climate change. Despite being a small town within theArctic Circle, the bid was made to send a serious message to the world about the threat the climate crisis poses and the importance of acting quickly. Parkkinen noted 2032 as an important turning point for climate change, stating that it would be too late if it isn't kept under control by 2032.^[53]
North America[edit]
Montreal–Toronto, Canada
On 3 February 2021, theJournal de Montrealreported that theCanadian Olympic Committeewas exploring the possibility of a joint Montreal-Toronto bid for either the 2032 or 2036 Summer Olympics.^[54]Potential venues include those used for the1976 Summer Olympicsin Montreal, and the2015 Pan Am Gamesin Toronto.^[55]

Delhi, India
In 2018,Indian Olympic Associationpresident Narendra Dhruv Batra expressed interest to bid for the Games.^[62]The Indian sports ministry announced in May 2020 that the Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Complex in Delhi will be redeveloped at the cost of $1.08 billion, which could host the Olympics in future.^[63]On 9 March 2021, Chief Minister of DelhiArvind Kejriwalannounced that his party would focus for the 2048 Games.^[64]
SingaporeandKuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Singapore and Malaysia declared a joint bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics in 2014. However, in 2018, Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) Honorary PresidentTunku Imranannounced the withdrawal of the joint bid due to the suspension ofKuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed railproject, which had been expected to be completed in 2026. This was due to austerity measures taken by the government, and the rail project was later canceled.^[65]^[66]Kuala Lumpur has hosted six editions of theSoutheast Asian Gameswhile Singapore has hosted four editions. Singapore also hosted the2010 Summer Youth Olympics.
Europe[edit]
St. Petersburg,Kazan, andSochi, Russia
It was stated by GovernorGeorgy Poltavchenkothat St. Petersburg may bid for the Summer Olympics in 2032 or 2036.^[67]The three cities were among the 12 that hosted the2018 FIFA World Cup. Sochi is the only one that has ever hosted the Olympics among the three, hosting the2014 Winter Olympics, and will also host the2022 Special Olympics World Winter GamesinKazan. However, Russia was involved in a doping investigation for lying to WADA inspectors in January 2019, andWorld Athleticsbarred Russian athletes from competing under their banner, pressuring the IOC to do the same in Olympic events. On 26 November 2019, WADA asked the IOC to reject the bid as a punishment for doping sample manipulations made in January. On 9 December, WADA banned Russia from bidding for international events as part of their penalty for state-sponsored doping, meaning the bid has been rejected by the IOC.^[68]^[69]However, Russia appealed to theCASwhich shortened the ban to two years, ending in 16 December 2022. This means Russia can bid for international sporting events again starting after that date.
North America[edit]
Guadalajara,Tijuana, andMonterrey, Mexico
Carlos Padilla, president of theMexican Olympic Committeebelieves that Guadalajara is one of the four Mexican cities (next toMexico City,TijuanaandMonterrey) that could attempt to host some Olympic games after 2026. In an interview with the ESPN chain the director said that those four cities "have everything" to seek to be headquarters, but not immediately.^[70]Guadalajara hosted the2011 Pan American Games, and bid for the 2022Gay Games, losing toHong Kong.
