You are an important part of my 2036 team, helping India host the Olympics: PM Narendra Modi to Paris 2024 Olympians | Paris Olympics 2024 News – MASHAHER

During his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had mentioned about India’s endeavour to host the 2036 Olympics. The day after that, while meeting the Paris 2024 contingent, the PM sought feedback from the Indian athletes to ensure that the country is best prepared in its bid for the 2036 Games.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has already commenced discussions with the International Olympic Committee’s dedicated unit, the Future Host Commission (FHC), regarding India’s interest to be the 2036 hosts.
While meeting the Indian athletes, the Prime Minister asked all those who had participated in the previous Olympic Games to share their experiences and suggestions.

“India is preparing to host the 2036 Olympics. In this regard, the input from athletes who have played in previous Olympics is very important. You all must have observed and experienced many things. We want to document this and share it with the government so that we don’t miss out on any small details in the preparation for 2036,” PM Modi said.
The PM emphasized their significance as part of his “2036 team.” He instructed the sports ministry to create a comprehensive document that incorporates the valuable input and recommendations provided by the athletes.
“In this way, you are an important part of my 2036 team, helping us host an Olympics like no other in the world. I would like the Sports Ministry to prepare a draft and gather detailed feedback from athletes so that we can plan well,” he added.

“You athletes should also give us suggestions on how to improve Indian sports further. Your feedback and suggestions are very important because it’s your responsibility to guide those who will represent the country in the future. You should interact with players on social media. The Sports Ministry can also organise such sessions in different places.”
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is responsible for granting hosting rights for the Olympic Games. This process is carried out by a specialized entity within the IOC known as the Future Host Commission.

National Olympic Committees (NOCs) that are interested in hosting the Olympics must engage in a series of discussions with the FHC. These discussions begin as a continuous dialogue and eventually progress to a targeted dialogue with the NOCs that have been shortlisted.
After the FHC finishes their diaglogue, the International Olympic Committee’s Executive Board conducts a vote to determine which candidate city will be granted the privilege of hosting the specific Olympic Games.
