The French capital was unsuccessful in vying to be the host city for the 1992, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. The year 2024 will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Summer Olympics held in Paris. The former French Minister of Sports, Jean-Francois Lamour, had made it clear that 2024 represents a choice objective for a Parisian bid. €35 million will be planned to build new sports venues around Paris in order to improve quality of the future Parisian bid.^[7][8][9] They withdraw from bidding for the 2020 Summer Olympics edition on July 12th 2011 after Annecy's 2018 Winter Olympics bid was rejected, and claimed that Paris would bid for the 2024 summer edition instead.^[10]

• Marseille

Several multi-national bids have been made before, but none have yet been accepted by the IOC.

• Amsterdam, Netherlands

• Kiev, Ukraine

Ukrainian Vice-Prime Minister, Borys Kolesnikov, stated that in the case that Ukraine successfully co-hosts the Euro 2012 with Poland, it may potentially place a bid for hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics.^[16] Ukraine is also planning a bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

On 10 July 2007 it was revealed that the Canadian Olympic Committee had begun work on a potential bid for the 2024 games for Toronto, the capital of Ontario and largest city in Canada.^[19] This would be Toronto's third bid for the summer Olympic games, after unsuccessful bids for the 1996 and 2008 games, but a successful bid for the 2015 Pan American Games. On August 11, 2011, the Toronto's Mayoral office announced it would not be pursuing a 2020 bid.^[20] As of September 2011 it was reported that there has been talk of Toronto potentially bidding for the 2024 Games.^[21] At the end of the 2011 Pan American Games, Allen Vansen, who serves as senior vice president of operations for the 2015 Pan American Games stated that if Toronto does a good job at hosting the Pan Am games that Toronto could make a future bid.^[22] The bid organizers for the 2015 Pan American Games are planning in launching a campaign for bringing the 2024 Olympics to Toronto.^[23]

• Philadelphia

Larry Needle, executive director of the Philadelphia Sports Congress, said that if Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania, wants to host the Olympics, its earliest realistic chance would be the 2024 Summer Games.^[28] A study by eleven graduate students from the University of Pennsylvania showed that Philadelphia should consider bidding for the 2024 Olympics. The study said that one of the city's biggest challenges would be convincing the voters who select the host city that Philadelphia is a "world-class city", something that "will require strategic changes in the city’s landscape in conjunction with a persuasive marketing strategy". An unofficial Facebook page began in 2010, and has since become very popular.^[29]

Oceania

• Australia

By 2024 it will have been 24 years since Australia and the Oceania region had last hosted the Summer Olympics when Sydney hosted the 2000 Summer Olympics.

The bid has been endorsed by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and Former Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman. The President of the IOC Jacques Rogge has also mentioned that Brisbane would have a high chance of receiving the games.^[30] Brisbane has hosted several major sporting events including the 1982 Commonwealth Games and the 2001 Goodwill Games.

The city previously bid for the 1992 Olympics, coming 3rd to Barcelona and Paris.

Brisbane's neighboring Gold Coast will host the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

• Melbourne

Melbourne is considering a bid for either the 2024 or 2028 Summer Olympics. The only major venue that would need to be constructed would be a rowing and canoeing course.

South America

• Lima, Peru

President of the Peruvian Institute for Sports, Arturo Woodman, said that Peru would try to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games,^[32] although the games being held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 might pose a challenge as the IOC might view it as too recent for a South American return.^[32]
