The Rome bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics was an attempt to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to the city of Rome. On 21 September 2016, Rome withdrew its bid for the Games.
Bid history
The city hosted the 1960 Summer Olympics and expressed an interest in bidding for 2024. A Rome bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics was canceled in 2012, when the Italian government withdrew its support from the bid on the eve of the delivery of the application files, stating that it would not be a responsible use of money in "Italy's current condition".
However, on 15 December 2014, the prime minister Matteo Renzi confirmed that Rome would be bidding for the 2024 Olympics.
On 10 February 2015, the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) confirmed that former Ferrari President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo would lead Rome's bid as President of the Organising Committee. The 67-year-old Montezemolo led the local organizing committee for the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. In June 2016, Simone Gambino, president of the Federazione Cricket Italiana, said that cricket would be included at the 2024 Olympics, if Rome became the host city.
The bid was cancelled on 21 September 2016, when Mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi told reporters it would go no further. Raggi, whose party the Five Star Movement have long been opposed to Rome hosting the games, cited ongoing financial troubles in the country as the main reason for cancelling the bid. She said hosting the games would be "irresponsible" and would only cause the city to fall into further debt. On October 5, 2016, Rome 2024 officials said they will hold a news conference on Tuesday October 11, 2016 to address the future of the bid. On October 11, 2016, the Italian capital bowed out amid persistent opposition from the local government, with bid officials expressing only a slight hope that their campaign might be revived. On 17,October 2016 Olympic leaders have continued to voice their displeasure with the political climate that forced Rome to suspend its bid for the 2024 Summer Games.
