2028 Summer Olympics

Template:Future sport The 2028 Summer Olympics, what will be officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, is an international athletic event that has yet to be organized by the International Olympic Committee. The winning bid should be announced in the summer of 2021.

Potential bids

Europe

• Amsterdam, Netherlands

  In 2005, the Dutch sporting confederation NOC*NSF began considering a submission to bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic games in the capital of the Netherlands. A Netherlands win in 2028 will come 100 years after the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam and only the second time the Netherlands have hosted the Games. Amsterdam previously bid for the 1992 Summer Olympics, but lost out to Barcelona, Spain.

North America

• Vancouver, Canada – Seattle, United States

  A joint bid for Vancouver and Seattle to host the 2028 Summer Olympics is being explored. This would be the first multi-national bid submitted and would also be the first time that a city will have hosted both a Summer and a Winter Games since Vancouver will host the 2010 Winter Olympics. A multi-national bid would be a ground breaking event in the Olympic movement and would require overcoming numerous logistical hurdles and a change in an International Olympic Committee rule requiring that the Olympics be awarded to a single city. This rule has often not been enforced, with cities bidding and winning Olympics where most of the events are held away from the host city. Vancouver and Seattle both believe that the logistics can be overcome and have cited that the travel time between Seattle and Vancouver is similar to the travel time between Whistler, British Columbia and Vancouver, the site of most of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Trademark controversy

Anticipating bids for the Summer Olympic by Paris, France, in 2005 a Parisian, Mr Gilbert L., registered the trademarks of "Paris 2016", "Paris 2020", "Paris 2024" and "Paris 2028" and also associated Internet domain names. On March 14, 2007 the High Court of First Instance of Paris (Tribunal d'instance of Paris) ruled that the registration of the domain names was fraudulent and annulled the trademarks.
