Abstract: This research proposes a tool for understanding the relational dynamics within the framework of a bid for an international sports event. To control the selection and organization phases, the International Olympic Committee maintains close relationships with the candidate cities. The methodology is qualitative through interviews with experts and data collection from the press on the specific case of French bids for the organization of summer and winter Olympic Games since 1968. The results obtained allow us to verify that the relational dynamics have an impact on the choice of the candidate city.
