Presentation by the Candidates for the IOC Presidency and Extraordinary IOC Session to be held on 30 January 2025 in Lausanne
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) membership will meet on 30 January 2025 at Olympic House, Lausanne, for the presentation by the candidates for the IOC presidency and an Extraordinary IOC Session. This was announced following the remote meeting of the IOC Executive Board (EB) held earlier this week.
In the morning of 30 January, the IOC Members will attend the presentations by the candidates for the IOC presidency. This in-camera meeting will give the IOC Members the opportunity to hear from the seven candidates about their programmes. The actual election is scheduled for the IOC Session to be held from 18 to 21 March 2025 in Greece.
In the afternoon, the IOC Members will gather for the Extraordinary IOC Session, which will be the 143rd IOC Session, during which they will vote on the host of the Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2028. As announced earlier this year, the IOC entered into a Targeted Dialogue for the Winter YOG 2028 with the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) and the Dolomiti Valtellina project. The Future Host Commission is currently analysing all strategic and technical elements of the project and will report back to the IOC EB later this year. If all the requirements for hosting the Winter YOG are met, Dolomiti Valtellina 2028 will be put forward for election by the IOC Session.
