Overview

• Alejandro Blanco, president of the Spanish Olympic Committee since 2005, will secure a sixth consecutive term after receiving unanimous support from the COE Executive Committee.
• The official proclamation by the COE Electoral Board is scheduled for May 9, with his reappointment to be finalized during the assembly on May 28.
• Blanco’s candidacy was backed by 35 Olympic federations and 23 non-Olympic federations, preventing the emergence of alternative candidates.
• Under his leadership, the COE has achieved structural stability and enhanced public-private partnerships to support athletes, though Spain has yet to surpass its Barcelona 1992 medal record.
• Blanco's next key challenge will be guiding Spain's Olympic strategy for the Los Angeles 2028 Games, with a focus on improving medal performance.
