The 2030 Mediterranean Games, officially known as the XXI Mediterranean Games is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to be held in 2023.
Bidding process
The International Committee of Mediterranean Games launched the bidding process for the 2030 games at a meeting of its executive committee held on 10 December 2022 in Pristina, Kosovo.[1][2][3][4] In April 2023, the International Committee of Mediterranean Games (CIJM) announced the end of the candidature process and the sole candidate city, Pristina, for the 2030 Games.[5] On 8 September 2023 in Heraklion, during the ICMG General Assembly, the elections for the designation of the Host Cities of the 21st Mediterranean and of the 4th Mediterranean Beach Games will be held.[6] If Prishtina were to win the right to organize the Mediterranean Games, it would be the first time that the event is held in a landlocked country. Additionally, it would mark the second instance of the Mediterranean Games being organized in a country without access to the Mediterranean Sea, following the 1983 Mediterranean Games held in Casablanca, Morocco.
Candidate cities
- Pristina, Kosovo - CIJM president Davide Tizzano stated that "Kosovo, together with the neighbouring countries will be ready to organise the Mediterranean Games" following a meeting with the President of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani in December 2022.[7] On 4 April 2023, the Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti, announced that Kosovo has officially applied to host the 2030 Mediterranean Games in Pristina.[8][9] Kurti also stated that as Kosovo is a landlocked country, is expected that the beach sports will be held in neighbouring Albania.[10] Pristina was officially confirmed as a candidate city by the CIJM on 1 April 2023. The formal host selection is expected to take place on 8 September 2013.[11]
