英国财政大臣约翰·希利宣布拨款700万英镑，用于研究英格兰北部在2040年代申办奥运会和残奥会的可行性1。这项研究将评估举办地点、场馆类型、交通运输和成本等关键问题1。若申办成功，这将是英国自2012年伦敦奥运会以来首次举办奥运会1。
该项目已获得广泛支持。超过40名奥运运动员、残奥运动员和精英运动员表示支持，其中包括劳拉·肯尼、詹森·肯尼、莎拉·斯托瑞、贝丝·特韦德尔和汤姆·皮德科克1。政治人物方面，英格兰北部市长安迪·伯纳姆表示奥运会将为英国城镇和社区"解锁机遇"1。可行性研究将由政府、英国体育部门、北部市长、英国奥委会和英国残奥委会共同参与1。
伦敦市长萨迪克·汗曾批评这一计划，认为不选伦敦是"错失机会"1。
Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey has announced £7 million in funding to investigate the feasibility of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games in northern England during the 2040s 1. The allocated budget will support a comprehensive study examining potential venues, transportation infrastructure, and associated costs for staging the event 1. If successful, this would mark Britain's first Olympic Games since London hosted the event in 2012 1.
The feasibility study will be conducted collaboratively by government officials, UK Sport, regional mayors, the British Olympic Association, and the British Paralympic Committee 1. The initiative has garnered support from over 40 Olympic, Paralympic, and elite athletes, including Laura Kenny, Jason Kenny, Sarah Storey, Beth Twedell, and Tom Pidcock 1. Andy Burnham has stated that an Olympic Games would unlock opportunities for towns and communities across the country 1.
However, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has criticized the proposal, characterizing the exclusion of London as a missed opportunity 1.
