Budapest Chess Olympiad 2024: The contract is signed
The contract for the Budapest Chess Olympiad 2024 is now officially signed.
On Wednesday, June 23, FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich visited the Hungarian capital Budapest to meet with the organizers of the Chess Olympiad 2024. The signing of the contract for the most important team chess competition was the high point of the day. FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich, Laszlo Szabo, President of Hungarian Chess Federation, and Attila Mihok, Executive Director of the NSÜ - National Sports Agency of Hungary put their signatures under the document. Evgeny Stanislavov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation in Hungary, was also present.
In his speech, FIDE President noted that the pandemic created obstacles for organizing sports events and chess tournaments in particular, but he firmly believes that there is enough time to organize the 2024 Olympiad on the highest level. "Hungary has incredible chess traditions, with great players like Lajos Portisch, Zoltán Ribli, Polgar sisters, and many others, a very active chess federation, and the support of national authorities and a beautiful city of Budapest. That is what makes it a perfect place for this most important team event," said Arkady Dvorkovich.
Legal support for the preparation and terms negotiations of the contract was provided by KIAP, Attorneys at Law - the official legal partner of FIDE.
The Chess Olympiad 2024 is scheduled to run from September 10-23 at the renovated Hungexpo Exhibition and Conference Centre, with a total budget of 16,6 million euros. Political authorities, chess legends, and prominent members of the Hungarian Olympic movement and the sports administration have expressed their unconditional support to the event.

After being postponed a year because of the pandemic, the 2020 Chess Olympiad has now been canceled. The next Olympiad will be held in 2022 in Moscow, and two years later Budapest will be the host city.
The 2020 Olympiad was supposed to be held in Moscow in the summer, but it became one of the many top events that had to be postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, following the political turmoil in Belarus, FIDE reopened the bid for the 2022 Olympiad that was planned to be held in the Belarusian capital Minsk.
After failing to find an alternative organizer for the 2022 Olympiad, which also involves the 2021 FIDE World Cup and the new FIDE Women's World Cup, the International Chess Federation has decided to simply move the 2021 Olympiad to 2022. FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich explained it as follows:
"Given that the Republic of Belarus and its government have decided that they cannot hold the Olympiad, we have tried to find a solution, another host for the 2022 Olympiad and the World Cups. But we couldn't find an alternative. If you add to the picture the pandemic, we have been left with no other choice than to have just one Olympiad during this period. We have received a kind proposal from the Russian government to host the two World Cups simultaneously next year, 2021, and to have the Olympiad in Russia in 2022."
