French Alps To Host 2030 Winter Olympics Under Conditions


(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) PARIS, July 24 (KUNA) -- The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday announced French Alps as the hosts for the 2030 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, but awarded so under financial conditions.
President of IOC Thomas Bach said in a meeting during the 142nd session of the committee that the IOC would not sign the host city contract, which has already been signed by France, until those guarantees were delivered.
France President Emmanuel Macron told IOC members that he would request the next French prime minister to give financial guarantee in order to host the Games.
"I confirm the full commitment of the French nation, and assure you that I will ask the next prime minister to include not only this guarantee but also an Olympic Law in the priorities of the new government," the French President said.
France must have the guarantees signed by its prime minister by Oct. 1 and have them ratified by parliament no later than March 1, 2025, the IOC added. (end)
