The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event to be hosted by either Los Angeles or Paris. Bidding to host the Games started in 2015 with five candidate cities in contention, but Hamburg, Rome and Budapest withdrew. The host of the Summer Olympic Games is scheduled to be announced at the 130th International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. The IOC is currently considering awarding the 2024 Olympics to one city and the 2028 Summer Olympics to the other (and Paralympic games at same years). The IOC met in Lausanne, Switzerland to discuss this option on 9 June 2017. The International Olympic Committee has formally proposed electing the 2024 and 2028 Olympic host cities at the same time this year. The proposal should be approved by an Extraordinary IOC Session on 11-12 July 2017 in Lausanne.
The candidature process was announced at the same time as the names of the five candidates cities on 16 September 2015. The procedure consisted of three stages: Stage 1 – Vision, games concept and strategy; Stage 2 – Governance, legal and venue funding; and Stage 3 – Games delivery, experience and venue legacy.
Five candidate cities were announced by the International Olympic Committee on 16 September 2015: Budapest, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome. Hamburg withdrew its bid 29 November 2015 after holding a referendum. Rome withdrew its bid on 21 September 2016 citing fiscal difficulties. On 22 February 2017, Budapest withdrew its bid after a petition against the bid collected more signatures than necessary for a referendum. The final two candidate cities, Los Angeles and Paris, remain under consideration until the IOC's decision is announced 13 September 2017.
On 30 March 2017, The OCevaluation team concluded an initial two-day review of the rival proposals from Los Angeles and Paris. The IOC’s evaluation commission praised both candidates for “creativity and strong legacy focus.” On 3 April 2017 at the IOC convention in Denmark, Olympic officials met with bid committees from both cities to discuss the possibility of naming two winners in the competition to host the 2024 Summer Games. The IOC requested feedback on the formation of a working group that will consider giving 2024 to one city and 2028 to the other. While both cities appeared initially opposed to this compromise, Los Angeles has indicated that it would be willing to consider it if certain concessions are made.
