The hosts for the next three Olympic Games have already been confirmed, with Paris, Los Angeles and Brisbane hosting in 2024, 2028 and 2032. In the meantime, talks are already underway regarding the hosts for the future Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is already in conversation with ten potential hosts for the coming global spectacle, starting in 2036. However, the potential bidders are yet to be identified, while IOC director general Christophe de Kepper confirmed that talks are being held with bidders from four continents.

During Thursday's Association of National Olympic Committees meeting in Seoul, de Kepper reported, "We are currently working with ten interested NOCs and regions across four continents. The bid projects are at very different stages and are developing their ambitions according to their own regional or national timelines."

However, it is being briefed that India is one of the bidders that has expressed interest in hosting the 2036 event, reports Xinhua. But, it would also face a stiff bidding war with Egypt, Indonesia, Great Britain and South Korea.
