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. [1]
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". [2] However, on 15 December 2014, the prime minister Matteo Renzi confirmed that Rome would be bidding for the 2024 Olympics. [3]
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. [4]
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. [5] 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. [6] 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. [7] 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. [8]
In 2017, Paris and Los Angeles had won their hosting bids for the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics, respectively. Two years later, the city of Milan and the resort town of Cortina d'Ampezzo won the bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The 1960 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVII Olympiad and commonly known as Rome 1960, were an international multi-sport event held from 25 August to 11 September 1960 in Rome, Italy. Rome had previously been awarded the administration of the 1908 Summer Olympics, but following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1906, the city had no choice but to decline and pass the honour to London. The Soviet Union won the most gold and overall medals at the 1960 Games.
Stadio Olimpico, colloquially known as l'Olimpico, is an Italian multi-purpose sports venue located in Rome. Seating over 70,000 spectators, it is the largest sports facility in Rome and the second-largest in Italy, after Milan's San Siro. It formerly had a capacity of over 100,000 people, and was also called Stadio dei Centomila. It is owned by Sport e Salute, a government agency that manages sports venues, and its operator is the Italian National Olympic Committee.
Moscow 2012 was one of the five short-listed bids for the 2012 Summer Games, and was to be held in Moscow, Russia. The capital city's Olympic plans were to build on top of the legacy created after the 1980 Summer Olympics. Moscow's River Plan called for every single competition to be staged within city limits, which made the city's proposal one of the most compact ever. All existing venues were to have been extensively renovated and more venues were planned to be constructed in time for the Olympics. A new, modern athletes village would have been constructed on the Moscow River, which was the centerpiece and core of the city's Olympic bid. Despite the high support from the entire nation and invaluable experience, Moscow's bid suffered from a lack of accommodation and an older transport system which may not have been able to cope with the expected traffic from the Olympics.
The Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino is a multi-purpose stadium located in Turin, Italy. It is the home ground of Serie A club Torino Football Club.

Ultimately it lost, having only gained eight votes with Barcelona going on to host the 1992 Summer Olympics. Its failure was due to a number of factors, including a perceived lack of support by the British Government for the bid as well as the international relations that the UK had at the time with South Africa and the United States.
