"Olympic Committee Announces Major Reform to Host City Selection Process In a significant move to promote global unity and peace, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced a major overhaul to its host city selection process for the Olympic Games. Under the new rules, countries currently engaged in armed conflict will be automatically disqualified from hosting the prestigious event. This decision aims to send a strong message that the Olympic spirit of friendship, respect, and fair play should not be compromised by ongoing violence or instability. The IOC's move is expected to have significant implications for countries like Ukraine, where the conflict with Russia has left a lasting impact on the region."
Organisers say countries engaged in armed conflict will be automatically disqualified from hosting.
