140th IOC Session

The 140th IOC Session is an upcoming IOC Session to be held in Mumbai, India in 2023.[1][2]

Bidders

Mumbai stood as the only bidder to host the session. The IOC membership approved Mumbai's application during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. This will mark the second time an IOC Session is held in India.
