Milan Mayor Backs Turin-Genoa Olympic Bid for 2036, Rome-Naples Also Considered

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has voiced his support for a multi-city bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games, proposing a collaborative effort between Turin, Milan, and Genoa. Sala confirmed he has discussed this ambitious plan with Turin Mayor Stefano Lo Russo, signaling a potential unified front from northern Italian cities.

"Yes to the Turin-Milan-Genoa Olympics," Sala stated, emphasizing the feasibility and potential of such a joint venture. He also acknowledged that another proposal, potentially involving Rome and Naples, is on the table. The final decision on which Italian bid, if any, will be presented rests with the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI).

Yes to the Turin-Milan-Genoa Olympics, I have spoken with Lo Russo. There is also the option of Rome-Naples, CONI will vote.

Sala addressed potential controversy surrounding multiple bids, noting, "There's no need to be scandalized if there will be two proposals." This suggests an open and competitive process within Italy to determine the strongest candidate city or coalition to pursue the 2036 Games. The mayor's comments indicate a proactive approach to exploring Italy's capacity to host the international sporting event.
