140th IOC Session

The 140th IOC Session is an upcoming IOC Session to be held in Mumbai, India in 2023.[1][2]

Bidders

Mumbai stood as the only bidder to host the session. The IOC membership approved Mumbai's application during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. This will mark the second time an IOC Session is held in India. The 86th IOC Session in 1983 was held in New Delhi.[3] Due to several problems related to Indian Olympic Association, the session was delayed to either September or October 2023.

Agenda

Several items are expected to be on the agenda during the three day IOC Session. The host city for the 2030 Winter Olympics was initially going to be selected as this session, but the IOC has pushed back the date on that decision. [4]
