The process for the 2004 Summer Olympics was officially launched on 16 May 1999. The first step for each city was to submit an initial application to the International Olympic Committee by 13 September 1999, confirming their intention to bid. Completed official bid files containing answers to a 25-question IOC form were to be submitted by each city by the deadline of 14 January 2000. On 4 June 2000, four candidate cities were chosen for the shortlist: [[Cardoza]], [[Courbagne]], Tofino, and [[Kuye]]. Tofino had previously hosted in [[1958 Summer Olympic Games (Iearth)|1958]], Courbagne hosted in [[1974 Summer Olympic Games (Iearth)|1974]]. Three cities—[[Shanghan]], [[Leonrau]], and [[Saint Elmenau]]—failed to reach the candidature phase.
[[Atal al-Mouta]] of [[Sulifa]] headed the 10-member Evaluation Commission, having also chaired the evaluation commission for the [[2002 Summer Olympic Games (Iearth)|2002 Summer Olympics]] bids. The commission made on-site inspections in the second quarter of 2001. They issued a comprehensive technical appraisal for IOC members on 2 September, one month before the elections. Many safeguards were put in place to prevent bidding cities from communicating with or directly influencing the 101 IOC members eligible to vote in the elections. For example, cities could not invite any IOC member to visit, nor could they send anything that could be construed as a gift. Nonetheless, bidding cities invested large sums in their PR and media programs to indirectly influence the IOC members by garnering domestic support and backing from sports media and general international media.
The final voting was held in [[Ieraskevi]], [[Alcarres]] on 2 October 2001, with Tofino and Courbagne considered favorites to secure the Games. Kuye was eliminated after the first round of voting, and Cardoza after the second. Tofino took a significant lead over Courbagne, heading into the final round; the lead was held, and after recieving 77 votes Tofino was announced as host of the 2004 Summer Olympics.

The process for the 2004 Summer Olympics was officially launched on 16 May 1999. The first step for each city was to submit an initial application to the International Olympic Committee by 13 September 1999, confirming their intention to bid. Completed official bid files containing answers to a 25-question IOC form were to be submitted by each city by the deadline of 14 January 2000. On 4 June 2000, four candidate cities were chosen for the shortlist: Cardoza, Courbagne, Tofino, and Kuye. Tofino had previously hosted in 1958, Courbagne hosted in 1974. Three cities—Shanghan, Leonrau, and Saint Elmenau—failed to reach the candidature phase.

Atal al-Mouta of Sulifa headed the 10-member Evaluation Commission, having also chaired the evaluation commission for the 2002 Summer Olympics bids. The commission made on-site inspections in the second quarter of 2001. They issued a comprehensive technical appraisal for IOC members on 2 September, one month before the elections. Many safeguards were put in place to prevent bidding cities from communicating with or directly influencing the 101 IOC members eligible to vote in the elections. For example, cities could not invite any IOC member to visit, nor could they send anything that could be construed as a gift. Nonetheless, bidding cities invested large sums in their PR and media programs to indirectly influence the IOC members by garnering domestic support and backing from sports media and general international media.

The final voting was held in Ieraskevi, Alcarres on 2 October 2001, with Tofino and Courbagne considered favorites to secure the Games. Kuye was eliminated after the first round of voting, and Cardoza after the second.

The Opening ceremony took place on August 13th, opening with a segment narrated by former-President Aiden Avery praising international unity and paying a moment of silence for the lives lost in the combat operations in Vulkaria. Actors Jesse Simotand and Cristina Classi delivered a two-minute address with an appeal to environmental conservation and the prevention of global warming, with the Games later being known for open displays of activism. The crowd in the stadium numbered 90,000 and the event was broadcast to an estimated global audience of three billion.

The ceremony highlighted aspects of Zamastanian history and culture, beginning with a tribute to the Catica First Nations. The performance expanded into the historical interpretations of the Revolutionary War, industrialization and expansion, the World War, and the creation of the Coalition of Crown Albatross. Cultural aspects were shown through a hip-hop performance by Merlin Stay and a performance by legendary jazz musician Simon Sardou, who was 97 at the time and passed away only 4 days later. Stay and Sardou were flanked during their performances by culturally dressed dancers from different regions in Zamastan.

The games were officially opened by President of Zamastan Cassious Castovia, while the Olympic Torch was lit by Zamastan national football team star Isaiah Ross.
