France has been conditionally picked as the host of the 2030 Winter Games and must now deliver key financial guarantees in the coming months, the International Olympic Committee said.
The French Alps bid was the preferred choice since June but due to elections and a current caretaker government had been unable to deliver the necessary state and regional financial guarantees in time.
France must have the guarantees signed by its prime minister by October 1 and have them ratified by parliament no later than March 1, 2025, the IOC said.
