The IOC has chosen Dolomiti Valtellina as host of the 5th edition of the multisport event.
The 5th edition of the Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be Dolomiti Valtellina 2028. This decision was taken by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Members on Jan. 30 during the 143rd IOC Session in Lausanne, following a presentation by the project leaders. There were 89 “yes” votes for Dolomiti Valtellina 2028 and one “no” out of 90 valid votes, with two abstentions, said the IOC in a statement.
The Winter YOG Dolomiti Valtellina 2028 will take place only in existing venues across three clusters in Valtellina, Trentino and Cortina. Athletes will return to some of the sports venues that will be used for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, making the 2028 YOG part of the Milano Cortina 2026 legacy. The program of the YOG on Jan. 15-29, 2028 will include all seven winter Olympic sports: biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, luge, skating and skiing.
The Dolomiti Valtellina 2028 project is led by the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) with the governments of the regions of Veneto and Lombardy and the Autonomous Province of Trento, and supported by the Italian national government.
The IOC report on Dolomiti Valtellina 2028 is available online.
