• New Delhi, India

During a meeting with the IOC President Thomas Bach, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Narinder Batra expressed India's interest in hosting the 2032 Summer Olympics. Bach on response said India has the ability to host the event but advised to wait until the bidding procedure starts. Batra also stated that New Delhi could be named as a possible candidate for the 2032 Games.[5][6][7][8] India has already submitted their official interest to bid for the 2032 Games. Rajeev Mehta, Secretary-General of the IOA, said that they were very serious about bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympics and they had already submitted a letter of expression of interest of hosting the Games to the IOC.[9] On 30 December 2019, Indian Olympic Association secretary Rajeev Mehta said that the IOA had ratified the decision during their Annual General Meeting to bid for the event and requires the support of the Indian Government.[10] India will also be hosting the 140th IOC Session in 2023 in Mumbai. [11]In February 2020 IOC member John Coates stated that India had abandoned its bid for hosting the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics and would concentrate to bid for 2026 Summer Youth Olympics.[12] IOA President Narendra Batra denied Coates's claims and stated that he was misquoted and that they are still looking to bid for the 2032 Games.[13] In May 2020, Narinder Batra said in a statement that the country will step up its efforts to bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics once the COVID-19 pandemic eases.[14]

• Jakarta, Indonesia

On 1 September 2018, the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, announced in a meeting in Bogor with the presidents of the IOC and the Olympic Council of Asia that Indonesia will bid to host the 2032 Olympics following the major success of the 2018 Asian Games and Para Games.[15][16] On 19 February 2019, Indonesia made the 2032 Olympics bid official, as letters from President Joko Widodo and Indonesian Olympic Committee were delivered to the IOC in Lausanne.[17]

• Rhine-Ruhr, Germany (with sailing venue in Kiel)

Germany has planned to bid for the 2032 Games in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and has revealed a plan to host in 13 cities. The cities listed were Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Cologne, Bonn, Aachen, Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Krefeld, Leverkusen, Mönchengladbach, Oberhausen and Recklinghausen. Over 80 percent of the venues are already available, including 16 stadiums which have more than 30,000 seats and even 24 large sports halls. This is also the first time a bid has taken place in so many cities.[18] Three of these cities hosted the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Sailing could be hosted in Kiel which won referendum on 2024 bid same time when Hamburg narrowly lost it. [19] However, the suitable athletics stadium is found from Berlin and Munich and their former olympic main stadiums so there has been challenges to find a venue for track and field events. There has been suggestions of temporary stadium expanded for 50,000 people which would dismantle after games or decrease capacity for domestic use. The only existing option is the expansion of FC Köln home, Rhein-Energie Stadion (Müngersdorferstadion), from 49,996 to 73,000 seats, giving possibility for athletic competitions. It could happen in temporary lower-stand covering platform without ceremonies for 40,000 people or some more, like Hampden Park in 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The likely venue for ceremonies is in any case of athletics venue the Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion) in Dortmund with 66,000 seats and football finals. [20]

• Madrid-Valencia, Spain

On 17 June 2019, the newly elected Mayor of Madrid José Luis Martínez-Almeida announced that they would explore a bid for the 2032 games.[21] It would be the 40th anniversary of 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona, the 50th anniversary for the first royal sport event (the 1982 FIFA World Cup, which both cities hosted), and politically, 220th anniversary of the First Constitution's adoption. Madrid has no venues for water sports, velodrome or large permanent athletics stadium. Therefore with Agenda 2020 circumstances, these events may need to be staged outside of Madrid, although athletic competitions could held in Metropolitano Stadium with track and field platform and 40,000 seats instead of Seville and Barcelona olympic stadiums. [22]

• Brisbane-Queensland, Australia

Former Vice-President of the IOC and current President of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) John Coates strongly supports a bid from Southeast Queensland for the 2032 Summer Olympics.[23] Following speculation, a feasibility study was also commissioned by the Southeast Queensland Council of Mayors with the outcome due back by the end of 2018.[24] A 2019 feasibility study commissioned by South-East Queensland Council of Mayors back in 2016, and investigated by French company Lagardère on South East Queensland's eligibility to host the 2032 Olympic games concluded the region was capable of hosting the event, the study found that infrastructure and transport upgrades already needed would provide a financial return. The feasibility report notes that 80 per cent of the venues needed for such a bid already exist across the south-east, with others predicted to be constructed before 2032 in line with community needs. The document suggests Brisbane would be host of 21 Olympic venues, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast would both host 5 venues, with the remaining 7 venues to be hosted within the SEQ region. SEQ Mayors including then Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk made emphasis on the need to make the games cost effective through reusing existing facilities and using the event as a catalyst for infrastructure and job creation.[25][26] A feasibility study which was published in February forecasted that $900 million of state and federal funds would be needed to help host the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.[27] On 1 July 2019, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, made an announcement that the Federal government would be officially supporting the Queensland Olympic bid, saying the government "will be there every step of the way".[28] On 13 July 2019, the Prime Minister put forward 10 million dollars towards the bid, as well as nominating Queensland LNP federal MP Ted O'Brien to help with the bid on behalf of the Commonwealth.[29] Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on 9 December 2019 that the state will make an official and regional bid for the 2032 Olympic Games with proposed dates of 23 July to 8 August.[30]

• Seoul-Pyongyang, Korea

North and South Korea announced that they will pursue a joint bid to host the 2032 Olympic Games in a statement released on 19 September 2018, following a summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.[31] It was reported that both of the countries will host a forum on the 2032 Summer Games on 15 February, in Lausanne, Switzerland to discuss about it.[32] They have released that the initial proposed cost of hosting the games would be at $3.44 billion.[33] However, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has found that North Korea's testing program is non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code;[34] if this position is still the case in 2032, the requirement that any country submitting a bid be in compliance with WADA’s code mean the bid could collapse.[35]

• Istanbul, Turkey

On 8 June 2020, the Vice President of the Turkish Olympic Committee (TNOC) Hazan Arat said "Istanbul should be a candidate city for the 2032 Summer Olympic Games." Istanbul bid unsuccessfully for the 2000 Summer Olympics, 2008 Summer Olympics, and the 2020 Summer Olympics.[36].

• North-Central Italy, Italy

In September 2019, the Mayors of Florence, Dario Nardella, and Bologna, Virginio Merola, expressed their interest in bidding for the 2032 Summer Olympics.[37] Bologna's city councilor for sport, Matteo Lepore, described the Olympics as "a dream that we can aspire to and achieve".[38] Neither Bologna nor Florence had ever bid for a Summer or a Winter Olympics, but hosted the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Both cities lack suitable venues for the Olympics, so other cities may get involved.[39]

• Rotterdam-Amsterdam, Netherlands

On 3 February 2020, Gamesbids.com and various Dutch news sources told that the Netherlands plans to bid for the 2032 Summer Games. Belgium and Luxemburg could take part with suitable venues with no capacity to host alone. [40]

• London, United Kingdom (possible co-bid with Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Weymouth and Portland)

In February 2019, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and UK Sport expressed their interest in bidding for either the 2032 or 2036 Olympics. The mayor remarked that 2032 'was not out of the question' but 2036 is more likely. It is, however, unclear which year a bid will be made. London hosted the Summer Olympics in 1908, 1948, and 2012 and has been successful in every bid submitted.[41][42]

• St. Petersburg, Kazan and Sochi, Russia

It was stated by Governor Georgy Poltavchenko that St. Petersburg may bid for the Summer Olympics in 2032 or 2036.[43] There is concern with the accusations of state-sponsored doping. The three cities were among 12 hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sochi is the only one which has ever hosted the Olympics among the three, hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics, but Russia was involved in a doping investigation for lying to WADA inspectors in January 2019, and the World Athletics barred Russian athletes from competing under their banner, pressuring the IOC to do the same in Olympic events. On 26 November 2019, WADA asked the IOC to reject the bid as a punishment for doping sample manipulations made in January. On 9 December, WADA banned Russia from bidding for international events as part of their penalty for state sponsored doping, meaning the bid has been rejected by the IOC.[44][45][46]

• Guadalajara, Tijuana, and Monterrey, Mexico

Carlos Padilla, president of the Mexican Olympic Committee believes that Guadalajara is one of the four Mexican cities (next to Mexico City, Tijuana and Monterrey) that could seek to host some Olympic games after 2026. In an interview with the ESPN chain the director said that those four cities "have everything" to seek to be headquarters, but not immediately. [47] The city hosted the 2011 Pan American Games, and bid for the 2022 Gay Games, losing to Hong Kong.
