IOC accepts charter change on sports programme from 2032

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has formally accepted a significant change to its charter concerning the sports program for the 2032 Olympic Games. This amendment introduces greater flexibility in how sports are selected and included in future Olympic events.

The decision reflects the IOC's ongoing efforts to ensure the Olympic Games remain relevant and engaging in a constantly evolving global sports landscape. By allowing for more adaptable criteria, the committee aims to better accommodate new and emerging sports, as well as cater to changing athlete and fan interests.

This charter change is expected to influence the selection process for sports at the Brisbane Games in 2032, potentially opening doors for a wider range of disciplines. The IOC's move signals a forward-thinking approach to Olympic sport, prioritizing adaptability and inclusivity for future editions.
