Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Friday that Poland will officially bid to host the Olympic Games in either 2040 or 2044.
“I dedicate this decision to the youth of today, those who are now 10, 12, or 15 years old. Poland is committed to bidding for the Olympic Games,” Tusk stated during a press conference.
He added, “Given the current decisions, commitments, and preliminary statements from the International Olympic Committee, a realistic timeline for hosting would be 2040 or 2044.”

This announcement comes after Poland’s conservative president, Andrzej Duda, declared last year his intention to submit a bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics.
Poland has never hosted the Olympic Games before. However, it co-hosted the European Football Championship with Ukraine in 2012 and held the European Games in 2023.
Berlin is also considering a bid for the 2040 Olympics.
