The UCI announced that Afghan women cyclists, barred from competition in their home country since the Taliban's 2021 takeover, will participate in the French championships. Defending champion Fariba Hashimi and four compatriots will compete in the 115.5 km race on June 28, with three also participating in the time trial on June 26. This follows a similar event in 2022 in Switzerland. The initiative aims to support Afghan female athletes facing restrictions imposed by the Taliban, who ban women from sports and education. Some athletes, like Hashimi, have become symbols of resistance, raising awareness of Afghan women's situation.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has rejected the One Cycling project, a US$300 million initiative backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, deeming it incompatible with UCI's regulatory framework and lacking sporting coherence. The UCI President David Lappartient expressed concerns that the project would create a 'two-speed' system and jeopardize existing races. The proposal aimed to reshape the cycling calendar starting in 2026, but the UCI Management Committee unanimously rejected the request to include the One Cycling project, citing uncertainties, incompatible elements, and a lack of detailed economic model.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has rejected the "One Cycling" project, backed by major teams and a Saudi investment fund, citing incompatibility with UCI regulations and a lack of sporting coherence. The project, involving a $300 million investment from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund (PIF), aimed to reform professional cycling by creating a closed circuit, but the UCI deemed its conditions unacceptable and against its governance principles, particularly regarding team ownership of races.

The Paris 2024 Olympics Organizing Committee (COJOP) announced a revised budget surplus of €76 million, tripling previous forecasts. Final revenues totalled €4.49 billion against €4.41 billion in expenses. 60% of the surplus will go to the Paris 2024 endowment fund, 20% to the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF), and 20% to the IOC. An additional €5m is allocated to reinstall the Olympic cauldron in the Tuileries Gardens. Amidst this, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra is expected to succeed David Lappartient as CNOSF president, with Cyril Linette confirmed as the new director general.

The French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) has criticized the French government's decision to cut its annual subsidy by 75%, from €9.4 million to €2.4 million in 2025. The CNOSF warns this cut, communicated without prior consultation, jeopardizes commitments to key events like the World Games in Chengdu and the European Youth Olympic Festival, and threatens preparations for the 2026 Winter Olympics and the 2028 and 2030 Olympics. CNOSF President David Lappartient has criticized the handling of the matter, stating that no funds have been disbursed for 2025, despite 70% being due by the end of April. The CNOSF is considering legal action, arguing breach of contract. The Sports Ministry is facing an overall budget cut of around €100 million in 2025.
