Egypt is planning to apply to host the 2036 Olympic Games, Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhi confirmed on Saturday during a reception for International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach in Cairo.

"President Abdel Fattah El-Sissi has given his permission for Egypt to put itself forward as host for the 2036 Olympics," Sobhi announced.

If successful with its bid, Egypt would become the first African or Arab nation to host the Olympics.

During a joint press conference with Sobhi, the IOC President noted that "Egypt has solid sporting infrastructures and if it can host the Olympic Games, it will be historic."

An Egyptian official announced earlier in the month that Egypt, Greece, and Saudi Arabia were in talks to jointly host the 2030 World Cup.

It is noteworthy that Egypt staged the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, as well as last year's handball world championship during the Covid-19 pandemic.
