Rabat – French President, Emmanuel Macron, received the Vice-President of the International Olympic Committee, Nawal El Moutawakel, and other members of IOC Evaluation Commission, to boost France’s chances to host the 2024 Olympic Games.
The newly elected President of France, Emmanuel Macron, continued pushing for France’s candidacy to host the 2024 Olympics, after he expressed full support for the candidacy while acting as Minister of Economy.
To that end, the newly inaugurated president received members of the IOC Evaluation Commission, which included former Moroccan Athlete, Nawal El Moutawakel, who serves as Vice-President of the International Olympic Committee.
“The marriage between Paris and the Games is absolutely obvious,” said Patrick Baumann, President of the committee, in a press conference following the meeting with Macron. Baumann added that members of the IOC were satisfied with Paris’ project to host the Olympics.
After London beat out Paris for the 2012 games, France now seems capable of winning a chance at hosting the event. The involvement of the political landscape, especially at the top hierarchy level, may turn out to be very rewarding.
Regarding this point, Co-President of Paris 2024 said “We are working on unity and having the President of the Republic proves that this unity is not just a word, it is a reality that is expressed up to the highest level of the State.”
