The 2025 IDU Summer Olympic Games, officially the Games of the IV IDU Olympiad and the Games of the I IDU Summer Olympiad, and commonly referred to as Suyang 2025 were an international sports competition held in Suyang, Haesan from 22 August, 2025 to 13 September, 2025. Athletes from TBD countries competed in 154 events across 34 sports. It was the second consecutive Olympiad held on the continent of Hesperida, the first hosted by Haesan, and the first Games after the 2024 division of the Olympics into summer and winter events.

Bidding process[edit | edit source]

On 2 December, 2024 the IDU Olympic Committee announced that it would be accepting bids for the hosting rights to the 2025 IDU Summer Olympic Games and 2026 IDU Winter Olympic Games. That evening, Suyang Mayor Kim Eun-ji announced the city's bid that evening, following up on rumours from the prior mayoral administration that the city would be submitting a bid. There was broad support for the bid within the Haesanite government, and it quickly attracted numerous foreign and domestic sponsors. The following morning, Pharitaya quietly withdrew their bid, which they had "pre-submitted" in August 2024, and which had not been recognized by the IDUOC. While there was a rumour that some nations, especially Milintica were advocating for a more progressive nation to host the Olympics, taking umbrage with Haesan's relaxed labor policies, and that Lauchenoiria may be submitting a competing bid, ultimately a combination of infrastructure concerns and the election of Neina Arana doomed the proposal, and it never was formalized. At the IDUOC's 6 May, 2025 meeting in Aohama, Misumi, Suyang's proposal was unanimously selected.
