2024 Summer Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded the 2024 Summer Olympics to Paris, France, on September 13, 2017, at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru. Paris will become the second city to host the Summer Olympics three times, after Los Angeles, which hosted the 1932 Summer Olympics and the 1984 Summer Olympics. The 2024 Summer Olympics will feature International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) women's football and men's football tournaments, as well as International Basketball Federation (FIBA) 3x3 basketball events, which will make their Olympic debut, following the success of 3x3 basketball at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.
● Bidding process
The bidding process for the 2024 Summer Olympics began in 2015, with Paris, Los Angeles, and Budapest as the initial candidate cities. However, Budapest withdrew its bid in February 2017, citing a lack of European Union support and concerns over the cost of hosting the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) ultimately selected Paris as the host city, with Los Angeles being awarded the 2028 Summer Olympics as part of a historic double allocation deal, which was announced by IOC President Thomas Bach at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, with the support of United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Chairman Larry Probst and Los Angeles 2028 Chairman Casey Wasserman.
