Host City Contract 2020 Goes Public

The Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) today released the Host City Contract for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad (Host City Contract 2020).

This contract was first signed between the IOC, the TMG and the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), following Tokyo’s selection as the Host City of the Games on 7 September 2013. Upon the creation of Tokyo 2020 in 2014, Tokyo 2020 signed a Joinder Agreement to become a full party to the Host City Contract 2020.

In line with the Olympic Agenda 2020 framework, which reflects the positive evolution of providing Organising Committees of the Olympic Games (OCOG) and host cities more flexibility, all of the Host City Contract 2020 signatories worked to incorporate, to their benefit, the updated operational requirements that were published by the IOC in 2015.

With this agreement now finalized to the benefit of all stakeholders, the organisations are publishing the Host City Contract, reinforcing their commitment to transparency.
