21 July: Bids for the 2030 Summer Youth Olympics[edit]

Americas[edit]

In September 2019, the IOC President Thomas Bach met the President of the Republic of Colombia, Iván Duque Márquez. Duque expressed a strong interest in a candidature of Cartagena for the Youth Olympic Games in 2026, and they also discussed the programme of the Olympic Refuge Foundation in Colombia.[1] However, when COVID-19 hit the world and Dakar's Olympic postponement to 2026, it was revealed that the year it qualified for the bid was 2030. In January 2020, it was told Medellín would bid again for the Summer Youth Olympics, after losing the 2018 bid against Buenos Aires.[2] Later in February, the Colombian Olympic Committee agreed on Medellín as the country's bid for the Olympics.[3]
On 16 January 2024, Mexico withdrew their bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics, instead focusing on bidding for the Youth Olympic Games.[4]

Asia[edit]

Following the country's successful hosting of the 2023 Southeast Asian Games, Cambodia was tipped to host the Summer Youth Olympic Games in the future, possibly for 2030. If Phnom Penh is awarded, It would mark the first time that Cambodia has hosted an IOC event.[5] Phnom Penh will host the 2029 Asian Youth Games.
In April 2018, the IOC President Thomas Bach met the president of the Indian Olympic Association Narinder Dhruv Batra on his India trip. The two leaders discussed the future of Olympic sport in the country - particularly looking ahead to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. They also spoke about a possible candidature of India to host the 2026 Summer Youth Olympics and a strong interest in the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. Later, IOC member Nita Ambani expressed a commitment for a Mumbai candidature for the Youth Olympic Games 2026, as well as a strong interest in the 2032 Summer Olympics, before it was awarded to Brisbane, Australia.[6] Narendra Batra revealed that the 2026 Summer Youth Olympics will either be held in either Delhi or Bhubaneswar. Batra virtually ruled out Mumbai – the third city in the running – since the infrastructure there will have to be constructed from scratch.[7] India will also be hosting the 140th IOC Session in Mumbai in 2023.[8] On 2 May 2020, at a press conference, Batra said that the IOA is serious in bidding for the event and will start the preparation of bidding documents when the COVID-19 pandemic eases.[9] In October 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also intended for India to host the Youth Olympic Games, as well as the 2036 Summer Olympics.[10]
In February 2024, when speaking at the News9 Global Summit, the Minister of Sports, Anurag Thakur highlighted India's remarkable progress in sports across the country, such as the country having its best medal hauls at the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Asian Games, as well as having spent Rs 3,000 million in building over a thousand sports centers and infrastructures across the country, with the aim of India being among the top 10 sporting nations by 2036, and a possible top 5 nation by 2047. Thakur also reiterated Modi's hopes of hosting the Youth Olympics in 2030, as well as the main Olympics in 2036, highlighting India's future economic growth, which these Youth Olympics would benefit from, saying "India is very serious about hosting the Summer Olympics in 2036, and before that, we want to host the Youth Olympics in 2030. I have a reason for saying that. If you look from sector to sector, India is doing extremely well... economically, we are the fifth largest and in the next five years we will be the third largest."[11]

In September 2017, Khun Ying Patama Leeswadtrakul suggested the country should bid for the Youth Olympic Games firstly, the potentially awarded global sport events, after International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded Paris and Los Angeles hosting 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics respectively during 131st IOC Session. She was also elected as IOC member at this IOC session.[12] Her idea was supported by the President of NOCT, Deputy Prime Minister Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan. Khun Ying Patama and Gen. Prawit made a strong interest to host the next Summer Youth Olympics to IOC President Thomas Bach during 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.[13][14]

They also met IOC president Thomas Bach and chairman of the organizing committee, Leandro Larosa, discussing guidelines for their 2026 Youth Olympics bid.[18]

On 15 May, a bid committee proposed a joint candidacy from Bangkok and Chonburi Province and planned to send their intention to bid to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) within the next week. A slogan of "by Youth with Youth for Youth" was also announced by a bid committee.[20][21] On 5 June, a bid committee meeting took place for the second time. They received a letter from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for a confirmation that the Bangkok–Chonburi bid has already taken part in the permanent, ongoing dialogue of the new bidding process.[22][23] In 2022, it was announced that a bid is set to be confirmed in the following year.[24]

Europe[edit]

In December 2019, Minister of Sports of the Republic of Tatarstan, Vladimir Leonov confirmed that Kazan intended to apply for the 2026 Youth Olympics (which later went to Dakar, Senegal after the postponement of the games to 2026). Kazan hosted the 2013 Summer Universiade and several matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and was the planned host of the 2022 Special Olympics World Winter Games.[25] However, following the country's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the IOC has barred any sporting events from being held in Russia or Belarus, causing the cancellation of the Special Olympics World Winter Games,[26] and potentially affecting the efforts of the bid.
In August 2021, Ukrainian sports minister Vadym Huttsait announced that Ukraine could bid for the Youth Olympics of 2030 and the 2036 Summer Olympics with either the capital Kyiv or the port city Odesa. The country has never hosted the Olympics nor Youth Olympics. If awarded, it would mark the first time that the country has hosted an IOC sanctioned event, Ukraine could also bid for the 2028 or 2032 Winter Youth Olympic Games.[27] However, with Russia invading the country in February 2022, the plans for the bidding was significantly disrupted.
On September 27, 2023, the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina president Izet Rađo announced that Bosnia and Herzegovina would prepare a bid to host the Youth Olympic Games in the future, though it was not specified whether they were pursuing either the Summer or Winter Youth Olympic Games.[28] Sarajevo previously hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics and the 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival.
