Hosting the 2030 games “would create a potential negative impact on domestic sponsorship revenue being that close together,” a Salt Lake official said. “However, we have a budget that does work for 2030, if needed.”
U.S. Olympic officials are expected to review Salt Lake’s bid for the games in September, ahead of IOC meetings in October and November.The 2030 hosting rights have looked to be there for the taking for Sweden since its surprise entry in the 2030 picture this year as the IOC’s other options fell away. Sapporo was the longtime favorite but support in Japan faded during the investigation, trials and convictions related to bribery in commercial deals for the Tokyo Olympics.
That plan for 2026 has now been revived and relies even more heavily on existing sports venues with fewer construction projects. The IOC urges hosts to avoid potential white-elephant venues that typically go over budget. The IOC executive board will meet from Tuesday to Thursday in Lausanne, Switzerland, and can give Stockholm the status of preferred candidate. That would start a period of, in the Olympic jargon, “targeted dialogue” excluding rival bids.IOC officials have insisted in recent months they have other interested parties for 2030, though no clear projects emerged.
