IOC EB meeting in Athens - 4, 5 and 6 June 2008

The IOC Executive Board (EB) will convene in Athens on 4, 5 and 6 June at the same time as the SportAccord convention.
Among the key decisions to be taken will be the selection by the EB of the cities that will move on to the second phase of the bidding procedure to host the 2016 Olympic Games and become Candidate Cities. The selection will be based on a detailed assessment by an IOC Working Group of each Applicant City’s ability to organise successful Games in 2016. The seven Applicant Cities are Chicago (USA), Prague (Czech Republic), Tokyo (Japan), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Baku (Azerbaijan), Doha (Qatar) and Madrid (Spain).
