Switzerland plays with the idea of ​​involving the Netherlands in its bid for the Winter Games of 2026. The bid committee, which Sion has put forward as a location, would like to accommodate skating in the Netherlands from a cost-technical point of view.

The Swiss think they can present a stronger and more attractive prayer by using only existing or temporary locations, a condition to also get the support of the government. The expectation is that this will reduce costs.

"We can not build anything that will not be used after the Games, for example we do not have accommodation for skating, so a solution can be to move to the Netherlands", says Rene Will of the Swiss bid committee against the generally good entered insidethegames.biz. Division

In Switzerland, there is still a division as to whether the Winter Games are desirable? An internet poll from the Swiss newspapers Le Matin Dimanche and SonntagsZeitung showed that 43 percent of the population is against the candidacy.

Opponents of the candidacy try to enforce them equally by means of a national referendum.

Where the skating in the Netherlands must be held in 2026 - Thialf or another location - is not yet reported in the concept of the Swiss.
