Winter Olympics and Paralympics 2026 will be held in Italy, specifically in the cities of Milan and Cortina. Undersecretary for Italian Sport, Valentina Vezzali, told: "Twenty years after the Turin Games, Milan-Cortina in 2026 will indicate a model from which to start again.
It will do so thanks to guidelines linked to key words: sustainability, flexibility, management efficiency and economic, creation of long-term value. These are fixed points that we cannot ignore. In this perspective, the Olympic infrastructures must represent a real opportunity for the territory and the communities involved.
The real goal, therefore, is to leave a concrete legacy to the citizens of today and tomorrow. This is also the objective of the funds of the NRR, which the Department for Sport is managing for the construction and regeneration of sports facilities throughout Italy.

" Italian IOC chairman Giovanni Malagò added: "The bet we won in 2019 against all predictions, also the result of the great ability to team up, which was fundamental, forces us to do everything very well, to organize the best Games ever.

The bet we have before us can be won in two ways: by respecting the commitment made to leave the right legacy of this great event and by exploiting and increasing the prestige of the country. "
