In June 2023, the Italian regions of Lombardy and Trentino began continuous dialogue with the International Olympic Committee over hosting the Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2028. Milan, the capital of Lombardy, with Cortina d'Ampezzo in Veneto, will be the main host cities of the 2026 Winter Olympics, while Val di Fiemme in Trentino will host several events during those games as well. In July 2024, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board named the Italian bid (now referred to as Dolomiti Valtellina) the preferred candidate to host the 2028 Winter Youth Olympics. According to the Executive Board, “the masterplan is based 100 per cent on existing venues in three clusters, in Valtellina, Val di Fiemme and Cortina. Out of ten competition venues, six will have been used by Milano Cortina.”
