According to the IOC, it is in talks with around ten countries about hosting the 2036 Games, including Egypt, Great Britain, India and South Korea.
The 2036 Summer Games are the next up for grabs. The summer 2024 games will be held in Paris, four years later Los Angeles will host the games, and in 2032 Brisbane in Australia.
Mexico has the necessary sports and tourism infrastructure in various cities and regions to host the Olympic Games, the declaration of intent said.
