140th IOC Session in Mumbai to be held from October 15-17

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Monday announced that the 140th IOC Session would be held in Mumbai from October 15 to 17.

According to a press release, an IOC Executive Board (EB) meeting will be held on October 12 and 13, prior to the IOC Session, while the Opening Ceremony of the IOC Session is scheduled for October 14.

The decision to hold the 140th IOC Session in India was taken by its members during the 139th session held in Beijing in February 2022.



India won the bid to host the event after 75 members voted for it and one against it.

The IOC Session will return to India 40 years after the 86th edition, which took place in New Delhi in 1983. 

The IOC Session, the general meeting of its members, is held at least once a year. The Olympic body will use the occasion to decide on host cities for upcoming events, inclusion or exclusion of sports disciplines or international federations and changes to its Olympic Charter.
