The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirms a timetable to select the host city for the 2036 Olympic Games, setting a target of 2029 for the decision. The announcement comes amid a bidding process that has been described as stalled and that has faced delays over time. According to the reports, the 2036 contest has long been targeted by India and Qatar, both of which are widely associated with the bid process. The IOC’s decision to formalize a 2029 selection date is presented as an effort to move the process forward after uncertainty. The reports do not indicate a change to the eligibility or status of any bidder, but they frame the IOC’s timeline as a key step toward resolving when the host will be chosen. Overall, the development centers on the IOC’s stated schedule for determining the 2036 host, with the next major milestone set for 2029.
