There are 10 potential candidates in discussion with the International Olympic Committee over host applications for the 2036 summer games, the organisation told national leaders on Thursday.

With Paris 2024 set to kick off a three-olympiad cycle that includes Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032, early interest is starting to be tendered for the next available berth to host.

The IOC previously changed their system for awarding the games after French-led investigations into alleged-vote buying surrounding Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.

At the Association of National Olympic Committees meeting in Seoul, International Olympic Committee director general Christophe de Kepper confirmed conversations have been held over expressions of interest.

"We are currently working with 10 interested NOCs and regions across four continents," he told members. "[They] are at very different stages and are developing their ambitions according to their own regional or national timelines"

Nations including Egypt, India, China, Qatar and England have expressed an interest in hosting the event.
