The French Alps was provisionally chosen to host the 2030 Winter Olympics on Wednesday,
DW reports.
The decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is contingent on French President Emmanuel Macron signing a document to guarantee funding and security commitments no later than October 1.
"I confirm the full commitment of the French nation, and assure you that I will ask the next prime minister to include not only this guarantee but also an Olympic Law in the priorities of the new government," Macron said at the IOC session on Wednesday.
"Seven years ago, we made the same commitment [for the Paris 2024 Summer Games], and we delivered. We will do the same."
The decision was announced two days before the opening of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Later, at the same session, Salt Lake City, in the US state of Utah, was selected to host the 2034 Winter Olympics.
