Sweden is closely following the 2026 Winter Games, which will be held in Italy, as it prepares its bid to host the 2030 edition. The goal is to bring this important sporting event to Swedish soil, an opportunity to showcase the country’s organizational capabilities. In particular, the city of Stockholm has high hopes of becoming the host of the 2030 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Local authorities are already working closely with the government and other entities to assess the issuance of a so-called municipal guarantee, a formal commitment necessary to support the bid.
Stockholm has shown optimism and is ready to play its part, recognizing the significance of such a large-scale event, both in economic terms and for the international image of the city and the country. If Sweden’s proposal progresses in the next stages of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) selection process, Stockholm will commit as a key partner of the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOK), working closely to ensure that all the requirements and standards set by the IOC are met. Hosting the Games would not only be a great honor for the country, but also an opportunity to promote winter sports, tourism, and innovation in sports infrastructure. Moreover, the success of the bid would strengthen Sweden’s image as a leader in sustainability and the management of large international events, a theme that has become central in the allocation of future Olympic Games.
