Good idea but the cost of hosting an Olympics negates many cities from hosting the games. Economic benefits may not be realised for years later. Montreal for instance may still be paying for the costs of the 1976 games.

very true, i think many host cities go for the extravagant games, and they dont really integrate the games into the future plans of the city that well, in terms of using it to accelerate development, this is certainly something one can go on and on about but lessons need to be learned from athens and sydney and soon beijing and pay further attention to the barcelona model, that used the games as a catalyst instead of centering the future of the city around the games, they centred the games around the future of the city,i dont think cities are serious enough about this

example, paris a world class city, with many sports venues, world class stadia and so forth, proposed SEVEN temporary arenas called pavillions consisting of one cluster of six and another at roland gaross, this certainly cuts costs and can be dismantled and provide a legacy elsewhere or heck even be used in the industrial zone of the city, my point is a city like paris can certainly afford to build new venues but it didnt, then u see smaller cities with smaller budgets proposing new permanent venues left right and centre, and they wonder why they are left with white elephants


build temporary sports venues, relocate them after the games, build a mostly temporary olympic stadium if you have to, of course the situation is unique in each city but can cities really afford not to use this route? no pun intended

what a moron.

sydney's olympic park is a fricken white elephant - except for the superdome of course - telstra stadium is a bleeder and hasnt made a dollar for any of its investors as its hardly used, and as for the rest of the palce, well the government havent got a clue what to do with it. there's been all sorts of proposals since the olympics in 2000 but it's still a ghost town.

what do expect when you build it in the middle of nowhere.

I get called a moron for simply stating the obvious...The question asked was that Melbourne was the best city in Australia equipped to host an Olympics..I simply stated the truth..and that truth is that Melbourne would need to build further venues to stage an Olympics..Where am I wrong on this??

Melbourne successfully stage a Commonwealth Games and suddenly it becomes the best city equipped to stage an Olympics??.....Get your facts straight and learn more about what is required to stage an Olympics.

Simply put..Sydney is currently better equipped to host an Olympics than Melbourne.
This is so friggin obvious that certain Melburnians have got their head so far up their ass it aint funny.

Simply put..Sydney is currently better equipped to host an Olympics than Melbourne.
It's obvious that currently Sydney is the best equipped city facility wise seeing it just held the games six years ago, but I think you missunderstood the point (or maybe I have).

Because of 2000, Sydney have no chance of representing Australia the next time we decide to bid. That will come down to either Melbourne or Brisbane and atm Melbourne is so far ahead in world class facilities it's not funny. So keeping that in mind, Melbourne only need to build a handful of venues and therefore is the best equipped city in OZ to host the games.

^^
Do you think the venues Melbourne or Sydney have got now will matter in say 40 odd years time?? I don't think so...............

I wouldnt call Sydney's Olympic Park a white elephant, well over 1 million people will be visiting over Easter for the Royal Easter Show alone then there are another 3 major events just for April not including the show. An additional hotel is to be built, 50,000 sqm of new office buildings are under construction, 679 new apartments under construction.

As for being in the middle of nowhere, being smack bang in the geographical centre of Australia's largest city, with a direct rail link and excellent transport systems it really is at the heart of Sydney and only going to increase in importance over time.

Dubai for me should be 2016

^^I dont think Asstralia will get the olympics in a while, prob after 5 games or so. I think we all need to see how India hosts the commi's in 2010, maybe if they pull it off well they can have a good chance of hosting the games. I think when Dubai's sports city complex in ready, they stand a bloody good chance of hosting it!

But dont write off Durban, South Africa...see my design! click in the link below

^^^^Hope all goes well with the World Cup 2010. :) Check out the link I previously stated, and work out what Durban, Cape Town, or Johannesburg needs to host a Olympics (South Africa will host an Olympics!).

There are differences with hosting the Football World Cup as apposed to hosting the Olympics. The World Cup is one sport over 1-2 months. The Olympics are a concentration of 28+ sports mainly in one city for about 2 weeks (It's more complicated!).

When I was at Sydney there was a few times where 200,000 were leaving Olympic Park while another 200,000 were entering. An excellent public transport system is but one of the keys to hosting a excellent games. It helps to have this infrastructure built even before bidding. This was one of the reasons why Rio de Janeiro was not selected for the final 5.

hey thanks for the advice..ive read almost every IOC report lol and evaluation so ive structured many ideas for cape town around that...and ive been on gamesbids.com for about 9months or more im not sure...fully understand what u mean about dealing with a large capacity of people, the world cup is certainly not as intensive as an olympic games..however its a great start for any city,

i cud right a thesis about the 26 sports in 17 days but im sure u know all about that...one of the first steps of bidding is getting the city right...birmingham, manchester failed and london won..brisbane and melbourne failed...each time a city bids it costs a lot of money...i believe cape town is the right choice without a doubt, but some may disagree...

^^Mo eats, breathes & sh*ts olympics. I think we should see CT getting it just for Mo's sake. As I said before I cant imagine what will happen to Mo if CT looses its bid AGAIN!

^Rio de Janeiro.

After seeing Toronto during the World cup I think we would have a lot of national support for a bid, plus we hopefully might get slightly better now with MLS coming to Toronto and us hosting the 2007 U-20 World Cup.

That'd be clever considering it's Tokyo, Rio, Chicago and Madrid in the final 4! :lol::lol:

2010 South Africa
2012 London - UK
2014 Brazil

-----

2016 Chicago - USA The IOC will have Beijing fresh in their minds come 2009 and will therefore feel like, having just had an Asian games, voting for Tokyo would be uninteresting. Madrid will not break the pattern and follow a Games on their own continent. Many IOC members will feel Brazil is focusing on its world cup bid and may pass them by. Chicago are doing a good job in communicating their vision, Barrack Obama will wow the IOC session in Copenhagen, and the windy city will win.

2018 - England Giving every third world cup to Europe is sensible given that's it's still the powerbase of the World game. London will just have pulled of a fantastic Olympics and the European delegates will unite around England's bid as their most realistic hope.

2020 Cape Town - RSA The most varied bid race in history, with European giants Berlin and Madrid in the running against the 'new frontiers' of Rio and Cape Town. In 2013, Rio made the shortlist but all of Brazil's energy is now behind a last minute struggle to get their infrastructure in place for the world cup, which is only a year away. Therefore, Rio are big outsiders for the games. Europe's votes are split and a strong World Cup in 2010 goes a long way towards IOC members voting for a first Games in Africa.

2022 - China Mirroring ten years earlier when Beijing gave the Olympic flag to London, in 2018, England will pass the ball to the Chinese. Australia put forward a brave bid but, with no European bidders after England 2018, the lure of China is just too strong and they win by a landslide in the election.

2024 Paris - FRA A slew of European cities in this race which, spookily, has the feel of the 2012 election all over again. Rio realises after its 2020 dissapointment that the IOC won't award two 'new frontier' cities in a row. Madrid smells blood on their fourth attempt but come up short when their bid faces the might of the Germans in Berlin and the French in Paris. Paris learn from their 2012 mistakes and put forward a fantastic bid. They win by only four votes against the Germans with Madrid finishing third. Shanghai finishes a dissapointing fourth; perhaps it's too soon after Beijing. A century after Paris' last games, they will host once again.

2026 - USA Another brave attempt by Australia is thwarted, this time by the world's second superpower. In all fairness, after the world cup being in China four years earlier, the Ozzies didn't really stand much of a chance.

2028 Tokyo - JAP The last Asian Games was 20 years previously so a number of Asian cities run for this one. Shanghai once again dissapoints but outsiders New Dehli nearly upset the favourites, Tokyo. The USA puts forward San Francisco but they finish a very dissapointing last after their stadium plans fall through only weeks before the final vote.

There's a big interest with the growth of the US soccer league, which could be the most rentable in the world, so USA is definetely favorite for 2022.

Isaido, the dealine has already passed as they're awarding 2018 and 2022 at the same meeting. All of the nations bidding for 2018 have thrown their hat in for 2022 as a backup and a couple of countries are only bidding for the later tournament:

Forget Brasilia, they tried to bid for the 2000 Summer Games but the IOC didn't give a damn to it , our capital couldn't make it to the shortlist .

Denver will get the Winter Olympics before Aspen ever does.

I dont think Canada has the stadiums for a World Cup or ever will.

Never? Is there some mysterious impediment to building stadia in Canada that doesn't exist in other countries? Attendance wouldn't be an issue either. Canada hosted the FIFA U-21 WC in 2007 and broke the attendance record. Toronto FC has easily the best fan base in MLS and the Montreal Impact drew 55,000 to a game this year. Both Vancouver and Edmonton have drawn crowds over 50,000 for soccer.

Canadians would attend en masse, and have a long successful history of hosting major sporting events. 1 Summer Olympics and 2010 will be the 2nd Winter Olympics that Canada has hosted. I don't see why a World Cup would suddenly make Canadians averse to building sports infrastructure.

^^ I agree, if France has hosted world cup in 98 with small stadiums so I think Canada could and without many new stadiums.

2022 Winter olympics

Quebec City

Quebec City

That would only be possible if Toronto does not get it in 2020. I sure hoe Toronto gets it in 2020

Where now for WOG, assuming S.Korea gets the 2018?

My bet is in Europe. Probably Germany, since France will be running likely for 2024 SOG

Outside our continent North America will be out of the games and Asia will have the Koreans games...so I guess it will be Europe to loose

^^ We're starting to seriously talk about the 2022 Olympics here in Quebec City. The mayor has expressed his wish to candidate and a committee has been created to evaluate the costs and to analyze the question more deeply. I think we could be a great host city given the fact that we are already a very touristy city with a big hotel and restaurant concentration, so that would definitely not be an issue. We have mountains 20 mins from the city, with snow in the winter :D not like in Vancouver (i'm joking ;)) there would just be the issue of building new facilities like a stadium an arena and some ski jumps!

P.S. I've seen on the Polish forum that the city of Krakow combined with Zakopane who has already been candidate one time are also getting ready to be candidates. If the Krakow Summer 2020 bid doesn't work out they will probably candidate for the 2022 Winter Olympics!

as regards Winter Olympics 2022, Zakopane cohosting with Slovakia's Poprad is also possible...

Jakarta,Indonesia!!!!

Quebec City

That would only be possible if Toronto does not get it in 2020. I sure hoe Toronto gets it in 2020

I say COC should do what they did for 2008/2010 only in reverse.

Give Quebec it's 2022 bid because they claimed it first, under the provision that all bid funding is by Quebec only (Federal funding will be if Quebec wins), then if Quebec loses, have Toronto bid for 2024, which likewise they will fund their bid themselves.

12 years after Vancouver?

That would only be possible if Toronto does not get it in 2020. I sure hoe Toronto gets it in 2020

not a single chance for both

after the disaster of this canadian Olympic Games I don't think the games - either SOG or WOG - will be seen soon in Canada.

consider a long wait before ever bidding again

Disaster???? - there were some problems (most out of the organiser's control), but overalll, the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games were outstanding. STOP perpetuating the myths put forward by stupid elements in the world's media who like to blow everything out of proportion and make mountains out of molehills.
Please tell me of an Olympic Games that did not encounter at least some problems.

2024 Brisbane will be great.

Australian Olympic Committee Opts Out Of Olympic 2024 Bid
Sunday, January 18, 2009 12:44pm EST GB Staff
Font size:

There are reports that Australian Olympic Committee head John Coates has ruled out Melbourne or Brisbane bidding for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Coates confirmed he had spoken to Sir Rod Eddington and Queensland Premier Anna Bligh about interest held by both cities in hosting the Games, but said 2024 was not an option.
He told SEN Radio Sunday, "a bid can't go forward unless the Australian Olympic Committee agrees. I don't think we would agree to 2024. I just don't think that that's realistic. We'd be wasting government's money".

Coates said Olympic bids cost about $75 million to run and billions more to stage, and any Australian state or territory with that kind of money should instead invest in preparing athletes for upcoming Olympics.

He added, "this is not a matter that is a priority for the Olympic committee. It is not a matter that, other than me reporting on my conversations with the Queensland Government and with Rod Eddington, is going any further that that with us".

It appears according to Coates that Brisbane would be more likely to be the next Australian city to bid for a Games because historically when countries bid, a city that has not hosted the Games before is favoured. But if Brisbane did not proceed with a bid, Melbourne would be the most likely contender, Coates said.

He added the next time the country bids for an Olympic Games is likely to be in the latter half of the 2020s, 2030s or beyond.

Meanwhile the Daily reports Queensland is focused on securing a Commonwealth Games ahead of an Olympic Games, according to Treasurer Andrew Fraser. He told reporters Sunday, "I think many people regard the (1982) Commonwealth Games that were in Brisbane as a seminal moment in the development of the city. As a government we've said we're interested in looking at a Commonwealth Games bid for the Gold Coast, that's our focus for the moment,. He added that Brisbane would host a better Olympic Games than Melbourne - "without a doubt".

See Matthew, Brisbane is not gonna apply so stop flogging it KTHXBI!!!

No way on earth Aussies will get Olympics so soon.

:ohno::ohno: There are soooo many countries on our planet, which have never hosted OG before, why should IOC award 2 SOG within 24 years to a country "down under" ?:ohno:

^^ Do you view a 2024 summer Olympics in Toronto, 48 years after Montréal, as too soon for Canada? I know some people view hosting winter Olympics as negating that possibility, but the IOC doesn't seem to. What do people think though? I'd love the summer Olympics to come back to Canada, but also recognize the need to share the games with countries that have never had it.

Toronto FTW! ;)

But yes, where's the poll?

2024, is probably Toronto's last best chance to land the summer Olympics. The number of feasible candidate cities is growing by leaps and bounds. I suppose Toronto has the fact that we're in America going for it. If Toronto were in Asia, it would be much harder.

Do you think Toronto would be ready in 14 years though? The city is still very much a work in progress. Yonge Street is an embarrassing mess, the subway is vastly under built, and we're still using early 20th century technology like overhead telephone wires.

If Toronto continues to transform over the next 14 years as it has like the past 5 years, perhaps the city would be ready. I'd love for the summer Olympics to go to Toronto, but I'm not convinced that the city would be where it needs to be by 2024. What do you think?

Dubai.......

I´m not sure Quebbec City has possibility to host alpine disciplines downhill and super-g. I

Canada would be a perfect host for any games - summer & winter.
As a member of IOC, I would prefer to share the olympics with many countries! For this reason they awarded the games to Rio and not to Chicago /USA, a country, which hosted eight olympic games in history!

Years ago just a few countries and cities were able to host the games, today many countries and cities would be great hosts for the olympic games.

May be Toronto will be Canada's next host for SOG, but they have to wait another 20-30 years!

If 2018 should be in Korea, Munich will apply a second time for sure.

Maybe the Chinese that time will do so, too (this time, if Korea doesn't get the 2018 games).

Mogadishu :banana:

If allowed to go for it Melbourne.

Only one venue would need to be constructed and maybe an upgrade of the MCG.

It's would be the cheapest games ever and the best on track.

YES, It's th SPORTS capital of the WORLD!

Skopje

its immposible

Yet it was ok for America to host twice in 12 years??

Warsaw Poland

You've got a nice job! You're probably right about Canada having to wait 20-30 years. Toronto can content itself with the 2015 Pan Ams for now. Technically, they're in Hamilton, but it will give the region experience with large scale international multi-sport competition.

I know the IOC view it as important for the host nation to be competitive athletically. Honestly, Canada has some work to do to when it comes to summer sports. We've proven that we can compete and be very successful athletically when we make a concerted effort. The medal total in Vancouver is testament to that. There's no reason to believe we can't duplicate that success in the summer Olympics as well.

2028, 2032? :dunno:

Paris 2024 :D!

Yet it was ok for America to host twice in 12 years??

And you're comparing that to what, exactly? Canada &/or Australia?

Hmmm, let's see, 2 nations with a small population of about 55 million, *combined*, to that of the United States' over 300 Million & that also has a phenomenal sporting tradition? In comparison to those nations, I'd say yeah, it was okay. And besides, Los Angeles wasn't 'awarded' the 1984 Games. The IOC gave it to them because nobody else wanted them.

Yeah and Atlanta was shit house in 96!!! If ya goin by population then yeah shouldn't China be hosting like every 8 years lol.

Somewhere in Asia, not China, Japan or South Korea.

Munich or bust. (going on the presumption that South Korea will get 2018) If for some reason they don't go for it then I would like to see Sweden host. I think they are likely the nation with the best winter games legacy who has yet to host.

Population is not the only criteria, but it's one of the 'main' criterias. If China wants to bid, & the IOC wants to obliged them again, then why not? Yeah, China does have the population & a big Olympic sporting tradition, especially in the Summer Olympics, a huge growing economy & are a big global political player as well.

But why should a much smaller player like Australia be getting it on a regular basis, when there's other places still waiting for their first Games? Even that article that you posted about the Australian Olympic Committee realizes that. So why all the huff.

For a nation of only 22 million & not much political clout in comparion to other Western nations, Australia has had more than their fair share of the Olympic pie. Two hostings in 44 years for such a small nation ain't to shabby at all.

Yet it was ok for America to host twice in 12 years??

The USA is too big, we can host it too many times. :P

Yep too big of an ego ;)

New York City or Boston

Paris 2024 :D!

:yes:

Geo try telling Matthew Lowry that lol. Australia's next Games will prob be in the 2060-70s or beyond.

Countries I wish to see making bids are Argentina, South Africa, Poland, Hungary, India, Czech Republic and Turkey to name a few.

I think we've all told matthew that. But trying to talk to matthew, as we all here know now, is like talking to a 5 year old.

yeah with his so called IQ of over 200 and all ;)

I´m not sure Quebbec City has possibility to host alpine disciplines downhill and super-g. I

QC is close to the same Laurentian mountain ranges that Lake Placid also sits on so that should not be a concern. It does not run right next to QC but I don't think the mountains are any further than Whistler is to Vancouver.

Where now for WOG, assuming S.Korea gets the 2018?

My bet is in Europe. Probably Germany, since France will be running likely for 2024 SOG

Outside our continent North America will be out of the games and Asia will have the Koreans games...so I guess it will be Europe to loose

Why would it be Europe's to lose if Sochi is going to host it in 2014?

I thought of many of those.

All the European cities could be good candidates but I am skeptical that a games will easily find itself way to a nation under 20 million again. I don't rule it out but I think the deck is stacked.

India I think also very well could happen in the latter half of the century but I am don't have complete confidence they will get their Olympic profile raised adequately. India's size may coerce the IOC go there though. Osaka would be a good candidate to replace Tokyo but my gut tells me it will find itself like London/Paris. Santiago I could easily see host but again Chile isn't a very large nation. I also wouldn't be surprised if Brazil got a second games. My Tehran choice was predicated on substantial political change.

Yeah, its impossible to tell as the world is changing all the time and current trend seems to be put your best city forward to better the chances.

Depending how sucessful the Youth Games are and the conditions the IOC have in place for them, maybe smaller and lesser known cities would be able to get them :)

2020 Tokyo, Japan

You know what Mattew, that's one of your better lists. 10,000th time lucky eh?

Summer Olympics
2020 - Tokyo
2024 - Paris
2028 - Cape Town

IronMan99, you're right to agree with my list ;)

World Cup
2018 - England
2022 - U.S.
(I'd really put my money on these two. After South Africa and Brazil, FIFA will be looking for safe choices in the 2018-2022 hosts)
2026 - Australia
2030 - Russia (Argentina-Uruguay is not a viable bid)

FIFA will extinguish the current 1host-2out rotational rule somewhere between the 2018-2022 and the 2030 WC host choices. It's not viable in the long term.

True - I'd like to see some smaller cities get it.

For North America perhaps:
Vancouver
Ottawa
Calgary
Seattle
Phoenix
San Diego
Denver
Kansas City
Minneapollis/St Paul
Charlotte
or
Baltimore.

Though by 2050 even Raleligh/Durham might be big enough.
Not that small......those cities. :tongue3:

^^ Again with the dual hosts. I meant those that have already hosted a Winter Olympics and as you say will host again.

This is highly unlikely, especially for Lillehammer, in which the Olympics have definitely gone out of reach for them.

The only viable 2nd time Winter Olympics host in that list I can see is Sarajevo. To see how they do another Olympics, what with what happened after 1984 in the 1990's with the Bosnian War and such.

Quebec City will definitely host, but much sooner than 2054, maybe in the 2020's. 2022 might be too soon, so maybe a bid from them and then try for 2030 (assuming that they take turns with Toronto in the bidding cycle, and Toronto loses 2024).

Queenstown is another unlikely, I'd expect the bid just to be Dunedin, using the ski resorts at Queenstown and Wanaka, as well as developing new resorts at the mountains near Dunedin for the snow sports that don't need a big vertical, or even the ski jump and sliding track.


As for the World Cup, it's highly unlikely that there will be a successful Argentina-Uruguay bid, even if it is for sentimental and anniversary reasons. It would be far lopsided than the other joint nation bids we have seen, as Argentina would probably boast 9 stadiums whilst Uruguay may host 3.

Most likely it will not go to Australia that many times. There are so many other Asian cities in China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Pakistan etc with more population than Australia, that are able to host. Australia is just too small to be significant.

^^

I think that's reasonable. In terms of the countries you mentioned alot of them arn't money makers for the IOC. Who wants to go to pakistan?

^^

It will probably go to India, China, Vietnam, Pakistan and Indonesia a few times each before going back to Australia. I mean, Australia is great, but the IOC wants to reach more people. Especially countries like India and China will continue to boom economically over the next few decades. They are the big money makers for the IOC. Other Asian countries like Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, countries in the Middle East and New Zealand will get their chances. You really should not be greedy here, it will not go back to Australia before all these other countries get their chances.

^^ Maybe not with the big games but possibly with the Youth Olympics depending how sucessful they are.

As I said IOC know they will get money out of Australia, so I doubt they'd rule us out.

But for the other bar say India, China, Singapore, Malaysia are they sure they could make money?

I may have the dates a bit off but I am sure have the approximate locations right ;)

How Id like to see it - I predict increasingly the Games will be used as a coming out party for up n coming countries (akin to Beijing 2008, Rio 2016, South Africa World Cup 2010), as the 'rise of the rest' of the world comes to age - a more even global representation as Westcentrism levels out. This will still be interspersed with smaller cities and Western representation still.

2020 Cape Town (first African Games, the final continent to not have held it despite the five rings representing each continent, and with a proven track record following the World Cup 2010- an even bigger event than the Olympics)
2024 Istanbul (first Islamic nation, mending the 'clash of cultures' this past decade)
2028 Delhi (coming out party, first for the subcontinent)
2032 New York City (finally! -last of the *current* World Cities not to have held it)
2034 Moscow (coming out party for Russian geopolitical region, this time round on capitalist terms)
2038 Dubai (first for the Middle East, an established major geopolitical region by then, in an age of empires)
2042 Paris
2048 Jakarta (coming out party, one of the world's richest countries by then)
2052 Melbourne
2054 Lagos (coming out party, one of the world's richest countries by then)
2058 Buenos Aires


^what would uproot this guesswork tho' is if China/ India/ US, as the largest economies win bids every decade, akin to how US and Europe has done in the past. Places like Shanghai, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chicago, San Francisco.

Didn't really feel like opening a new thread about this but I think its worth a read............

UN expert: Big sports events force many from homes

Mon Mar 8, 11:38 am ET
GENEVA – Numerous people have complained of being forced from their homes or priced out of the housing market as a result of large events such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games, a U.N. human rights investigator said Monday.

Raquel Rolnik cited reports that more than 20,000 residents were being moved from a makeshift settlement near Cape Town to impoverished areas at the edge of the city before the June-July World Cup in South Africa.

Rolnik, an independent investigator appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council, criticized soccer's (football's) world governing body, FIFA, for failing to ensure that cities staging the World Cup explicitly commit to protecting housing rights.

Unlike the International Olympic Committee, FIFA hasn't responded to repeated demands to make housing rights a key part of the bidding process for hosting the event, she told reporters in Geneva.

"It's a much less transparent and clear process of bidding and selecting as compared to the Olympic Committee," she said.

She praised Chicago for being the first city to pledge not to evict any people from their home when it bid — unsuccessfully — to host the 2016 Olympic Games.

Rolnik said she and her predecessor had tried unsuccessfully to meet with representatives of FIFA, the Zurich-based soccer body, to discuss protecting housing rights as part of World Cup bids.

"FIFA never answered any of our letters, any of our requests to have meetings," she said.

FIFA didn't immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment.
.

To be fair to some other cities it was rather easy for Chicago to make that pledge considering they planned to place a large number of venues in parks (also controversial) and isn't as intensely developed in some of its areas as other cities.

2034 Moscow (coming out party for Russian geopolitical region, this time round on capitalist terms)

Im pretty sure Mexico could host a World Cup any time soon and has bid for 2018, 2022.

As for the Summer Olympics im pretty sure Guadalajara, Mexico City & Monterrey could host it in 2020 or 2024, Monterrey and Mexico City had made bids.

As for Guadalajara they are hosting the 2011 Panamerican Olympics.

*New infraestructure has been build and is underconstruction in Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara wich can bu used to host a wolrd cup and the olympics.

Cheers.

Mexico pulled out of the 2018/22 bidding process SeñorGuillermo.

One challeging aspect I find hard is to think that South Asia wouldn't host any sort of games until 2100 which I think has to come eventually but its hard for me to figure when it would happen and where.

That fifa list is so flawed!

Australia 2078!? 2022 more likely.

If that is your biggest complaint I'll take it. :colgate:

I thought I was being complimentary by considering Australia for 2078.

^^ Complimentary? If Australia loses it's bid for 2022, then we will try for 2026, this time with far more greater infrastructure and modern world class stadiums in place.

Our toughest competitor will be China, considering it's unlikely the other Asian nations bidding for 2022 will get it. Even then we will present a far superior bid than what we're proposing for 2022.

Should China do the unthinkable and win 2026, then 2034 will be Australia's time to shine!


You expect Burlington, Vermont over Quebec, Canada? That's absurd, if they were to bid against one another then we know that Quebec is far superior. Don't even expect Burlington to even be considered as the USOC bid for a Winter Olympics, not for a very long time (or when all other possible bidding cities including the likes of Bozeman Montana, Boise Idaho, and Honolulu Hawaii, have been considered). ;)

Burlington is one of the best small size city's in the US Northeast if not the country. Why does it have to beat out Quebec City to win? Who knows for sure but I think it is more it is more likely the US will get a winter games before Canada gets another one so its not a question of X US City vs. Quebec City.

Was Lillehammer a better city or town then many others who didn't get a games or perceived to have thrown as good as a games? Unlike the the summer games the stature size of a city isn't as parimount.

some quick shots of Burlington, Vt.

I don't know if fthe people of Burlington would care to hold a games or if it will ever be selected but I do know it would make a quality host deserving of a chance.

^^ Well a Burlington-Lake Placid bid is better than an Albany-Lake Placid bid, even if it is different states, that doesn't matter.

No World Cup in Europe for 24 years:crazy:
No Olympics in Europe for 28 years:scouserd:

2026 - Colombia :D

South America Round Up - Warner Suggests Colombia 2026 World Cup Bid

http://www.worldfootballinsider.com/_img/articles/nmw4t33o.jlm.jpg

FIFA President Jack Warner on his inspection visit to Colombia this week


Warner Backs Colombia bid

FIFA vice president Jack Warner has suggested Colombia puts itself forward as a candidate for the 2026 World Cup finals.

Warner declared himself impressed while visiting the country to inspect its preparations for the Under-20 World Cup, which it is hosting next year.

"I am very impressed the way Colombia prepares for the U-20 World Cup, especially security wise,” said Warner.

“All the work for this World Cup could be used as a preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Brazil will host the 2014 World Cup, but twelve years later the World Cup will return to South America and I think Colombia will then be totally prepared to organize the World Cup. "

Colombia was originally awarded the 1986 finals, a controversial decision that FIFA backtracked on in early-1983 amidst grave concerns about the country’s security and readiness for the finals. Instead Mexico stepped in, pipping the United States to become the first country to host two tournaments.

Habana, Cuba would be nice considering Cuba strong tradition at the olympics its the latin american country that has won the most olympic medals by far. Plus Habana is a very pretty colonial city and it would the first olympics in the caribbean.

^^ The problem with Havana is the dated infrastructure, they would have to do a lot of new sports venues, venue reconstruction and transportation upgrades to convince the IOC they're good enough to make it into the Candidate phase.

Having a moderately modern airport is not enough.
Refurbishing the track at the Estadio Panamericano is not enough, can it even be upgraded to a minimum of 65,000? (Yes, 60,000 is the minimum, but I can easily expect organizers wanting to have a 5,000 card section at one part of the stands and with proper seats, a video screen or two, the skyboxes, concessions, new toilets etc).

And there's the transport problem. Having an extensive and efficient bus service might not be enough, I'd probably want to propose a subway linking the Olympic Park with Downtown Havana and other venue clusters.

They lost their bids for 2008 and 2012 for good reason. I'd propose for them to attempt another bid for 2020, make the infrastructure upgrades (They will not make the Candidate phase, but all proposed infrastructure developments should be underway, for a potential 2nd bid for 2024, which they would have a better chance of making the cut).

More than that they will actually have to produce a bid that shows that they have actually bothered to glance at the IOC requirements.

Their bids have just been plain lazy.

Like Andorra's for 2010? :P

Oh right, like the one for 2008 (or was it 2012?), where they say their Estadio Olimpico will be 60,000, but on the chart it's states that it's 35,000. Or that the Latin American stadium will host Ceremonies at it's 50,000 capacity.

I think Melbourne 2028 would be a good option but I think there'd need to be changes.

MCG Upgrade - 130 000 up to 145 000(standing_
Etihad Upgrade - 80 000
MRS Upgrade - 55 000
Brand New Stadium - 35 000
New Aquatic Centre
Wrestling/Boxing Centre Permanint.
Rowing Facilities.
Equastrian Course and Archery tobe built close to the city. (Docklands) Parkland?

These are just suggestions and would cost billions. Not to mention a PT overhaul.

^^ Silly suggestions.

MCG is fine as is, Etihad is fine as is, MRS does not need an upgrade anytime soon.

Why would we build a 35,000 seat Aquatics Center? London is only building a 17,000 seat one, Chicago proposed a 17,000 seat one. It's not necessary.

Equestrian will remain at the iconic Werribee Equestrian Grounds, likely the same place for Archery.

The only major venue to be built will be the rowing course, there will not be needless nonsense upgrades.

I said 35 000 new stadium

and a new aquatic centre different. I don't give a shit if it's necessary it's what I want and would be cool. :)

I'd love to see people acctualy know why it's the worlds sporting capital.

^^ And why would we need a brand new 35,000 seat stadium?

Melbourne needs a PT overhaul...are you for real?

Public Transport? We have a good centralized rail network, the largest tram network in the world and numerous bus lines. All we need is station renovations (definitely one for Flinders Street), more trains (To the point that trains come every 10 minutes during off peak, and every 5 minutes during peak hours, if possible) and buses.

^^

Is that a joke? Have to tried to catch a bus in peak hour.

I wait about 10 minutes and then it's packed terrible. Trams running along Glenferrie Rd. is terrible they come every 20minutes and they're packed. We need an overhaul. And yes I want Melbourne to have those it's be cool to have bigger stadiums so there are no fights over hosting something. It'd be cool aswell.

Oh. my. god. I can't believe I am witnessing Solopop saying something negative about Melbourne!

Seriously though, come to the Gold Coast and you'll realise what good PT Melb has.

It's shocking to me on the routes I catch.

Oh. my. god. I can't believe I am witnessing Solopop saying something negative about Melbourne!

Seriously though, come to the Gold Coast and you'll realise what good PT Melb has.

even better...go to Cape Town.

How come no one took into consideration Mexico to host one of the Winter Olympics at least.
Mexico has the infraestructure to do so.
And it's been a long time since we hosted the Summer Olympic's.
It would be nice to host them again before 2040.

Cheers.

winter games, in Mexico? Where?
I tend to think of the mountain resorts in New Mexico and Arizona as perhaps to iffy and undependable to contemplate hosting a winter games so I suppose that is why I haven't considered Mexico.

Just looked up, the only ski resort I see listed for Mexico is Monterreal. Though I sure its descent enough it doesn't look to me it is near professional standards.

I think Mexico is likely to find a games within another 100 years, the list of cities and nations who could make a good claim to host is extensive though.

I was sure there where like 5.

Yes, once Kim Jong Ill gives power over to that son of his he's appointed, he'll start an ambitious project of building an artificial mountain near Pyongyang, of the required vertical and length. It'll take a dozen or so years to build, consume like 43% of the nation's GDP and be a disaster for the environment. :P

But seriously, a Summer Olympics is Pyongyang's best bet, where they would spend the billions in needless infrastructure and sporting projects.
