Dates are set for the 2027 Military World Summer Games in Charlotte

Context: Earlier this year, CISM awarded the Games to the United States with Charlotte as the host city.

• Military athletes will compete in more than 30 traditional Olympic sports, like swimming, to military-specific events, like parachuting.

Driving the news: CISM leaders are in town this week exploring potential venues for the Games with local organizers.

Zoom in: Potential venues include Spectrum Center, Tryon International (an equestrian center), UNC Charlotte and UNC Greensboro, Charlotte Convention Center, Bojangles Coliseum, American Legion Memorial Stadium, Truist Field, Charlotte Motor Speedway and the U.S. National Whitewater Center.

• Bank of America Stadium as a potential venue is dependent on the timeline of the stadium's renovations.

By the numbers: Hosting the Games could generate $3 billion in economic impact for North Carolina, the Observer reported.

What's next: Organizers will officially invite nations in October, Ike Belk, U.S. Performance Center co-founder and member of the local organizing committee, tells Axios.
