Mexico’s capital city Mexico has submitted a formal bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games. The government intends to host the Olympic Games in Mexico in 2036, according to a statement made earlier this week by Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard.

According to Ebrard, the Mexican Foreign Ministry, the Mexican Olympic Committee, and a number of athletes met to discuss the possibility of Mexico hosting the Olympics before submitting their application.

The Mexican Olympic Committee’s president, Mara José Alcalá, worked to get the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to send a communication in the month of July that stated that they had taken note of Mexico’s interest and were grateful for the support of the Mexican government.

Ebrard stated in a press conference that Mexico’s intention is to host the games in 2036 or 2040. According to the system, you sign up for one year, and if your case is not elected after four years, you can run again.

Ebrard made the observation that a Mexico Promotion Committee ought to be established following Mexico’s application.

In order to take into account the changes that have occurred in the organization of the Olympic Games, he said, “Once the Committee is installed, we are going to start the studies requested by the International Olympic Committee.”

According to Ebrard, the Olympic Games are funded in this way: 10% by the host country, 30% by sponsorships, 30% from ticket sales, and 30% by the International Olympic Committee.

The IOC has been considering Mexico to participate and host the Olympics since July 7, according to Mara José Alcalá, president of the Mexican Olympic Committee. The nomination has the support of both the foreign minister and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

The president of the Mexican Olympic Committee said, “Under the leadership of our President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, the Olympic Games have changed now, making it possible for cities to participate, for countries to participate without being indebted, without having to commit great feats in economic matters, but simply to host with a great capacity for organization and sustainability.

She noted that Thomas Bach had expressed his support for Mexico’s bid to host the Olympics in a letter. “The Olympic Games organized in this country would be a strength, a development, a promotion, but above all that Mexico would once again be in the vision of the world,” she said.

Mexico started the process to host the Olympic Games in 2036 in June. The proposal was made by Marcelo Ebrard, and if everything goes according to plan, the nation will host once more.
