India performed poorly in the Paris Olympics 2024. The nation just won 6 medals in the multinational event. They won 5 bronze and 1 silver, and most of the athletes finished 4th in their events. The nation would like to change its fortune in the upcoming Olympics. Ahead of that, India is trying to host the Olympic Games in 2036.
However, now Egypt has also started efforts to get the host of the Olympic Games in 2036 and 2040. After the Paris Olympics, the next Olympics will be held in Los Angeles in 2028. There is a question about which countries will host the Olympic Games in the future. India is keen to host the Olympic Games in 2036. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made several statements in this regard.
Egypt getting ready for the Olympics
He indicated that India is ready to host the 2036 Olympics. However, Egypt is also eager to host the 2036 and 2040 Olympics. Egypt has staked claim to host the 2026 and 2040 Olympics. No country has yet been awarded the host title for the 2036 Olympics. The entire continent has never hosted the Olympics. Cairo previously made an unsuccessful bid for the 2008 Olympics.
The Arab world’s most populous country has spent billions of dollars on facilities, stadiums, and sports complexes in recent years as part of its modernisation efforts. Egypt International Olympic City, the country’s new administrative capital has been built east of Cairo since 2015. It is slated to have a 93,900-capacity national stadium and 21 other sporting facilities. Africa has a chance to host the tournament. Probably, the Olympics can be held here in 2040.
