2024 summer Olympic Games will officially be held in Paris.
Two cities: Los Angeles and Paris were candidates for the organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic games. Each candidate had to convince the International Olympic committee (IOC) that their city was the best choice while respecting a predefined calendar. Here are the important dates concerning the Paris candidacy 2024:
> The Games will be held from July 26th to August 11th.
Sporting infrastructure already operational: 95% of sites already exist.Hosting the Olympic Games is every candidate cities wish. This major project highlights the host country. Installation and choice of sporting infrastructure is of course an important element in the organisation of the Games, but it is not the only success factor. Indeed, to ensure its proper functioning, a flagship project such as the O.G must involve all of its partners. The Paris 2024 bidding committee wants to define exactly what these games will mean and how they will be used on a small and bigger scale (Paris, Ile-de-France, France) and it will be done in consultation with the French population. A platform has been set up for this consultation. It must allow anyone who wants to, to participate in the deliberations carried out by the paris 2024 Committee when developing the Candidature project. Also, several debates will be organised around economic and environmental matters. These are not just the Paris Games, they are also YOUR Games! Each opinion is a step towards making sure that the Games are lasting, exemplary and shared among the whole of society.
