India’s Olympic Dream Receives IOC’s Support

India’s Olympic aspirations have received a positive response from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which has welcomed the country’s interest in hosting a future edition of the Games. The IOC has acknowledged that India has expressed its desire to host the Olympics on multiple occasions, including through the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).

India’s passion for sports and its youthful population make it an attractive candidate for hosting the Olympics, according to the IOC. The country has a strong sporting culture and a large number of young people who are eager to participate in and support sporting events.

Currently, there are interested parties from four continents in discussions with the IOC about hosting the Olympics. India is among the countries that have expressed interest in hosting the 2036 Games, along with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, Barcelona, and Chile.

While India has not yet put forward any specific city to host the Olympics, the IOC has expressed confidence in the country’s ability to organize a successful event. The IOC has also noted that India is considering hosting the 2030 Youth Olympics as a stepping stone towards hosting the Summer Games.

Despite some internal challenges within the IOA, the organization remains committed to hosting the 2036 Olympics. The IOC has been monitoring the situation and has urged the IOA to address its governance issues.

India’s Olympic ambitions have been supported by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has spoken about the country’s desire to host the Games. The IOA has also been engaged in productive discussions with the IOC, and is confident that India can deliver a world-class Olympic experience.

As India’s first woman to join the IOC, Ambani has championed India’s sporting ambitions and Olympic vision. She recently hosted the first IOC session in Mumbai in over 40 years, showcasing India’s transformation and aspirations to the world.

Through the Reliance Foundation, Ambani empowers millions of Indians with resources and opportunities. Her initiatives span sport, education, health, art, and culture, aiming to improve lives across the country.

Reliance Foundation is at the forefront of driving India’s sports growth. Its programs reach over 22.9 million children and youth, promoting a variety of sports, especially in remote areas.

As part of a partnership with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Reliance Foundation will open the first-ever India House at the Paris Olympics 2024. This “home away from home” for athletes will celebrate India’s Olympic journey and demonstrate its ambitions to become a global sports powerhouse.

Ambani’s re-election to the IOC is a testament to her dedication to the Olympic Movement and her unwavering commitment to promoting sports in India. It also reflects India’s growing stature in the international sporting community.
