The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has welcomed the declaration of candidature by the Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Candidature Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, effectively paving the way for Paris to stage the 2024 Games.
In June, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved the awarding of the 2024 and 2028 Games at the same time later this year. Following announcements by the IOC and Los Angeles on Monday (31 July) night and Tuesday (1 August) morning respectively, the IOC will aim to reach a tripartite agreement with Los Angeles and Paris in August. This agreement will then be put forward to the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, in September for ratification.
