After a 40-year hiatus, India will host the crucial International Olympic Committee (IOC) session later this week, which will offer the country an opportunity to showcase its readiness to host major sporting events like the Olympics.
IOC President Thomas Bach, who arrived in Mumbai from Istanbul, will lead the Executive Board meeting from October 12 to 14. This will be followed by the IOC session from October 15 to 17 at Mumbai’s state-of-the-art Jio World Centre.
Hosting the IOC session is a major achievement for India as the country has hosted it only once previously, in New Delhi in 1983.
