Hungarian IOC Member Balázs Fürjes on the 2024 Paris Olympics, Potential Budapest Games

Fürjes told Hungarian public media that the 2024 Summer Olympics was overall a success for the French organizers, with over 9 million tickets sold to the events combined and over 3 billion TV viewers tuning in to the coverage. He also expressed his belief that Hungary could host the Olympics at the same level France just did. However, organizing the Olympics would take ‘joint action’ between the government and the Budapest leadership, which makes him somewhat sceptical about the likelihood of it happening.
