    2024 Olympics: Budapest withdraws bid to host the quadrennial games

    More than 260,000 people had signed a petition in opposition of the games being hosted, arguing about the high cost of the games.

    Budapest's withdrawal leaves only Paris and Los Angeles in the run to host the 2024 Olympics.

    IOC announces five candidate cities to host 2024 Olympics
  • On 15 September 2015, the International Olympic Committee announced the name of five candidate cities for hosting the 2024 Olympic Games.

    The five cities selected are Los Angeles, Hamburg, Budapest, Rome and Paris.

    The host city will be selected in 2017 after a vote by the IOC in Lima.

    IOC changed the selection rules to make sure every city progresses to the final vote.

    Hamburg citizens vote against bidding to host Olympic Games

  • Italy's capital Rome became the second city after Hamburg to withdraw from the bid to host the 2024 Olympics.

    The move came after the city council of Rome voted to oppose the candidacy.

    Rome's transport and other public services are going through lack of investment which led to the council voting against the bidding.

    This leaves Paris, Los Angeles and Budapest in the race.

  • The Italian National Olympic Committee President, Giovanni Malago said that the decision to withdraw from the bid would make Italy look like fools.
