Palacio Vistalegre is not being used.

If Madrid's bid was 36-40 years after Barcelona 1992, It could had a better chance

The background differs between countries. In UK football is the most spectacular sport. So it is normal for all countries of UK like Scotland and wales to have some football matches. In Canada the spread of the football tournament as wide as possible is implemented by having football matches in 2 biggest cities after Toronto (Montreal and Ottawa). Οntario also is the most populous province so its logical to have there more than one stadiums. I dont think that this spread could satisfied having matches in greater distances (that would create other problems) and considering that in that regions football isn't more popular than the cities mentioned. Just think this. Ontario's area is 1,076,395 km2 . UK's area is 243,610 km2

From all these countries i prefer USA

This topic is for Tokyo's 2020 bid, go to discuss Emperor's subjects to other topic. Ok? Bye

any new development for basketball venue?

So you agree with me. England for 2030.

If we were 40 years from last Spain's Olympics i would say that Madrid would be certainly the winner.

2026 WC will probably go to USA or Mexico. 2022 will be in Qatar. So i think it will return to Europe in 2030.

Bookmakers give Tokyo first favourite

I think no football fan is enthusiast of an Asian country to host the world cup. I prefer the old years of rotating between Europe and Americas. (1958-1998). I would like to see 2026 in USA or Mexico and 2030 in Spain or England.

Only USA and Mexico have the stadiums needed. I dont think so that Argentina will bid.

Canada doesn't bid for 2026, so it will be a battle between USA and Mexico.

it would be better a pure basketball venue for basketball in Olympics. Palacio de Deportes should be the venue for basketball. Palacio Vistalegre for volleyball and Boxing could go to Las Ventas or to a small new arena (8.000 seats)

Where can i find madrid 2020 proposed venues?

Can new bids appear for 2020? or the deadline is over?

It will depend on global economic situation also. A lot of countries withdraw their interest in front of a possible bailout

they shouldn't have gone for the WOG

Paris should have bid i think

Mexico has too high crime rate. The number of people that is being killed there due to Mexican drug war is compared to a war's death toll.

Spain had Olympics just in 1992, is too early as you and other friends had said.

A lot of them yes, but there are also newer ones. The football stadiums are all new, from 2002 FIFA world cup. Tatsumi International Swimming Centre was built in 1997. Ariake Colliseum and Kokugikan Arena are from late 1980s.

Tokyo has great advantage, almost 75% of venues for the Olympics already exist

such a competition in such an unstable region? forget it

Average HIGH 41 C in june, july and average LOW 30 C. My God!!
