[기사 요약 – 전북, 2036 올림픽 유치 도전 지속]​

1. 유치 의지 재확인

1) 최근 일부 언론에서 ‘전북의 올림픽 유치 도전이 좌절됐다’는 보도가 있었으나, 전북 측은 “2036 올림픽·패럴림픽 유치 도전을 철회하지 않았다”고 공식 입장 발표.

2) 서울과 협력 논의를 진행 중이며, 이는 대회 구상과 개최 계획을 발전·정교화하기 위한 과정이라고 설명.

3) 서울과의 협력 논의

-기존 계획상 서울은 8개 종목을 개최할 예정이었으나, 최근 논의에서는 개·폐회식 등 주요 행사까지 서울에서 진행하는 방안이 포함됨.

-이에 따라 문화체육관광부는 전북 계획 검토를 잠정 보류하고, 서울과의 협의 결과를 반영해 재검토하기로 함.

2. 향후 절차

1) IOC는 2027년 3월 총회에서 ‘전략적 대화 단계(Strategic Dialogue)’를 시작할 예정.

2) 이 단계에서 후보 도시들은 설문 응답과 현장 방문을 통해 IOC 미래개최위원회(Future Host Commission)에 보고서를 제출.

3) 2028년 말에는 ‘타깃 대화(Targeted Dialogue)’에 진입할 도시가 선정되고, 2029년 최종 개최지가 결정됨

3. 국제 경쟁 상황

1) 이미 (1)카타르 도하, (2)인도 아메다바드가 공식적으로 2036 유치 캠페인을 시작.

2) 잠재 후보지: (1)칠레 산티아고, (2)사우디아라비아, (3)남아공, (4)이집트, (5)튀르키예 이스탄불, (6)헝가리 부다페스트, (6)스페인, (7)이탈리아 등.

3) 독일은 뮌헨을 2036 후보 도시로 확정.

4) 향후 전북·서울은 치열한 국제 경쟁 속에서 도전을 이어가야 하는 상황.

4. 올림픽 개최 일정

-LA 2028, Brisbane 2032, French Alps 2030 동계, 미국 Salt Lake City/Utah2034 동계 개최 확정.

핵심적으로, 전북은 서울과 협력해 2036 올림픽 유치 도전을 계속 이어가고 있으며, 국제 경쟁이 치열한 가운데 한국 정부 및 KSOC와 긴밀히 협력해 개최 계획을 발전시켜 나가겠다는 의지를 분명히 하고 있습니다.

[Jeonbuk remains committed to 2036 Olympic bid despite recent reports of setback]

"The ongoing discussions with Seoul are intended to further develop and refine the Games Concept and hosting plan," a spokesperson said

​

South Korea’s Jeonbuk State “remains committed to pursuing the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” a spokesperson for the project told GamesBids.com following reports last week that the bid has suffered a setback, adding “the bid has not been withdrawn.”

​

Several domestic news sources revealed Jeonbuk opened discussions with Seoul officials with the intent of fostering a stronger collaboration and possible co-hosting of the Games to help meet International Olympic Committee (IOC) hosting requirements. Plans were already in place for the capital to stage eight different sports if South Korea were elected to host, but new talks are said to include demands for additional key events – including the opening and closing ceremony – to be held in the 1988 Olympics host city.

​

Due to the impending changes, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism chose to defer the review of Jeonbuk’s plans until implications of the discussions with Seoul have been analyzed.

“The ongoing discussions with Seoul are intended to further develop and refine the Games Concept and hosting plan,” the spokesperson said.

​

“Jeonbuk State will continue to work closely with the Korean government and the Korean Sport and Olympic Committee (KSOC) to further develop its hosting plan.”

​

South Korea’s PyeongChang hosted the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in June that a new Strategic Dialogue phase of the bid process is scheduled to launch March 2027 at the next IOC Session. During this stage, candidates will submit questionnaire responses and conduct site visits for the Future Host Commission who will develop reports for the Executive Board and IOC members. Any hopeful bids will need to engage in ongoing dialogue with the IOC before this time to get invited to the process.

Then in late 2028 qualified bids will be chosen for Targeted Dialogue to set them up for a 2029 final election.

​

In the international race for 2036, South Korea could face an uphill battle in a growing field.

Doha in Qatar and Ahmedabad in India have already formalized 2036 campaigns.

​

Other potential 2036 or 2040 bids include Santiago in Chile, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Egypt, Istanbul in Türkiye, Budapest in Hungary, Spain and Italy. Last week Germany’s sports authority (DOSB) chose Munich ahead of Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr to bid for an edition as early as 2036.

​

Los Angeles is scheduled to host the 2028 Olympic Games followed by Brisbane in 2032. The Winter Games are to be staged in French Alps in 2030 and Salt Lake City, USA in 2034.

[Dakar 2026: A flame bringing communities together]

​

​

The Youth Olympic Games torch continues its journey across Senegal, stopping this week in Bargny before heading to Diamniadio, uniting athletes, educators and local community figures along the way.

Among them was Dieynaba Diallo. An African boxing champion, Senegalese international and kung fu champion, she specialises in English boxing and Muay Thai. For this stage of the Flame Tour, she had the honour of carrying the Flame through the streets of her community.

"It is a great pleasure for me to carry the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games Flame. It is a symbol for me after so many years of hard work," Diallo conveyed. For her, carrying the Flame was also an opportunity to represent Diamniadio and Senegal. She associates the experience with two words: "strength and victory".

"I tell all the children to do everything they can to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games," she said.

Like Dieynaba Diallo, several figures committed to supporting young people took part in the Flame Tour in Bargny and Diamniadio. Among them was Ababacar Gueye, a sports management professional who is also involved in youth development. Active in the field, he supports and trains young people while promoting values of discipline and determination.

Young people were also represented by Amy Sene, President of the Diamniadio Youth Consultative Council. Another familiar face in the local sporting community was Awa Ciss, a Senegalese international rugby player and sports educator. Their presence is a reminder that Dakar 2026 is about more than sporting competition. As the first Olympic sporting event to be held in Africa, it is above all a celebration of youth, highlighting the importance of passing on knowledge and values, as well as community engagement in the areas hosting the Games.

Diamniadio, at the heart of Dakar 2026

The mobilisation around the Flame Tour takes on particular significance in Diamniadio, one of the host cities of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games and the main competition cluster. Stade Abdoulaye Wade will host the Opening Ceremony on 31 October, as well as the archery competitions, scheduled from 6-10 November. Other major venues will also be used during the Games, including Dakar Arena, Dakar Expo Center and the Equestrian Centre.

Eliud Kipchoge named Dakar 2026 Global Ambassador

The Olympic champion is preparing to connect with young athletes in Senegal, drawing on more than two decades at the highest level of international sport to help them make the most of their YOG experience. The Kenyan will also serve as a mentor to the Refugee Olympic Team, which will compete at the YOG for the first time at Dakar 2026.

"I was really happy – it made my day – to become a Global Ambassador for the Games. I've been in the sport for 24 years; it's my time to give back to the next generation. And the youth in Dakar are exactly the next generation I want to walk with," the long-distance legend told Olympics.com.

Dakar 2026 will hold particular significance for Kipchoge, with the YOG becoming the first Olympic sporting event to be staged on the African continent. "Dakar 2026 is a huge event on our young continent – something we've long waited for here," he says. "Being the first, it will stay vivid in the minds of young people and the general public for a very long time."

For Kipchoge, Dakar 2026 will ultimately be an opportunity to celebrate sport with a new generation on his home continent. "These Youth Olympics are reason enough for me to be there – to meet people, talk to them, and celebrate with athletes from different countries," he says. The Dakar 2026 YOG will take place from 31 October to 13 November 2026, bringing together around 2,700 young athletes aged up to 17 across three host zones: Dakar, Diamniadio and Saly.

[Chungcheong preparations accelerate under new chief]

​

​

Planning for the 2027 FISU World University Games are gathering pace under newly appointed Organising Committee President Yum Hong-chul, with regional coordination, uniform development and international promotion among the areas being stepped up.

The former Daejeon mayor has taken charge as organisers enter a key phase ahead of the multi-sport event, which will be staged across four cities and provinces in South Korea's Chungcheong region. Yum has sought to bring the hosts together under a 'One Team Chungcheong' approach, drawing on his experience from three terms as mayor of Daejeon.

In his inaugural remarks, he described staging the Games as a 'MEGA-Challenge' for the region's 5.6 million residents and said the event could deliver 'MEGA-CHange' both locally and internationally. Regional cooperation has been among his first priorities since taking office. Yum met leaders from all four host cities and provinces during September, visiting Chungnam and Sejong on 14 September before holding talks in Daejeon and Chungbuk a week later.

The discussions were used to assess preparations and identify areas requiring further support, with the parties agreeing to strengthen cooperation as the event approaches. Organisers are now expected to turn those discussions into detailed plans covering areas including financing, promotion and volunteer recruitment. Work is also under way on the uniforms that will be worn during the Games, with a nine-member design review committee officially beginning its work on 1 September.

Chaired by Secretary General Lee Jung-woo, the panel includes design experts, university students and representatives from UniCrew, the Games' university supporter programme, in an effort to combine professional expertise with input from young people. Official uniform supplier Kolon Industries FnC has presented its initial concepts, with discussions focusing on incorporating both the identity of the event and the cultural characteristics of the Chungcheong region.

Public and student surveys will form part of the selection process alongside panel assessments, before final designs are confirmed in April 2027, following FISU compliance checks and wear testing. Chungcheong 2027 has also been using the ongoing Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya to raise its international profile.

Organisers operated a promotional pavilion at Kinjo Pier in Nagoya from 18-21 September, showcasing the four host areas as well as elements of Korean culture. Visitors were able to try on traditional hanbok clothing and participate in activities, including biseokchigi, while official merchandise for the World University Games was also displayed. Several Chungcheong 2027 ambassadors and athletes associated with the event have also been competing in Aichi-Nagoya.

Fencer Oh Sang-uk claimed gold and table tennis player Shin Yu-bin secured bronze, while archer Kim Woo-jin is among those targeting further success. Sprinter Joel Jin Nwamadi and judoka Lee Hyun-ji, members of the Chungcheong 2027 Unistars programme, are also competing.

Promotional activity will continue next month as organisers mark another milestone on the road to the Games. A total of 300 'U-Runners' have been recruited to coincide with 300 days remaining until Chungcheong 2027 and will participate in the 2026 Hangeul Run at Sejong Central Park on 9 October.

Wearing official caps, participants will take part in a commemorative run and countdown event before serving as 'running ambassadors' by sharing their experiences across social media. Those completing the activation will receive gifts and local currency vouchers, while selected material will subsequently be used in promotional campaigns for the Games.

A dedicated Chungcheong 2027 booth will also operate at Sejong Central Park on 9-10 October, featuring interactive activities, prize draws and appearances by Games mascots Heung-yi and Na-you. The initiatives form part of a broader effort to build domestic and international interest as preparations accelerate for an event being delivered across the Chungcheong region rather than by a single host city.
