NEW DELHI

A meeting of Executive Council of the Indian Olympic Association tomorrow will take a final call on whether Goa will host the National Games as per schedule, while giving an official stamp to its proposal to bid for major multi-sporting events, including the 2032 Olympics.

Goa was selected to host the National Games from November 4 to 18 but there were reports of further delays in building the necessary infrastructure to host major disciplines, raising doubts on the multi-sporting event happening as per schedule.

According to IOA sources, construction of the venue for shooting events has not yet started and it may be held in a different city. The Executive Council will take a decision on that.

IOA President Narinder Batra had told visiting International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach in April that it wants to host the 2026 Youth Olympics, 2032 Summer Olympics and 2030 Asian Games. The IOA Executive Council is expected to approve these proposals so that the matter can be put before the government.

The IOA also wants to host the IOC Congress in 2021 and the Executive Council is expected to approve the proposal.
