Mexican foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard will propose to mexican president hosting the summer olympics for the 2nd time in 2036 or 2040

Mexico City? Or Guadalajara?

[Quaker2001]

[Olympics2028]

Although the country in general has a reputation for a lot of narco-gang crimes and corruption, its capital city in major ways is very impressive. Mexico City's transit system would put many other cities' subway lines to shame, and many of its streets are very well landscaped. Of course there are still severe slums in the city's outer rings, but look at the major homeless problem existing where the summer games of 2028 are going to take place.

The 1968 games riffed on the 1964 games in Tokyo, so Mexico City should be able to do just as well or even better than the 2020 games did

Mexico City is the only city that really brought tears to my eyes, quite literally, thanks to the air „quality“.

And anyway, I cannot take any 2036 bid seriously if the corresponding thread here has not been officially approved and announced by the master of New Norm. So, bye bye, Mexico.

[FYI]

^Yeah, but hey. We can still add it to the list of 'media reports' in that "crowded field of interested parties"!

But wouldn't this just add, not subtract, to your "traveling circus" mentality, though.

They are considering a possible joint bid of Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. A joint bid seems more likely for them.

[FYI]

^^ 'We'll see'.

[iceman530]

Given the field, Id love to see a Mexico bid.  Either Mexico City or Guadalajara would be a nice flex.  Its one of those places I feel the money could go to better use somewhere else but.......I think this could still pan out, if they were serious.

If selected mexico city,. There exist the opportunity of using tokyo's model of refurbishing mexico 1968 olympic venues such as the old aquatics center for diving and synchro, the mexico 1968 olympic stadium for athletics and azteca stadium for ceremonies and soccer finals, waterpolo at UNAM aquatics center, rowing at cuemanco and building an adjacent white water facility, equestrian at campo marte and hipodromo de las americas, palacio de los deportes for indoor volleyball and auditorio nacional for gymnastics, arena mexico for boxing, and plaza de toros for beach volleyball estadio azul for rugby and penthatlon, also with field hockey at foro sol.Also using existing new venues as the Harp Helu stadium for baseball, arena CDMX for gymnastics and basketball finals. And using another venues from all around the country such as the new GNP arena and the marina in acapulco for tenis and sailing, or using arena monterrey for handball. Public venues could also take place as using zocalo for street sports, triathlon and open water could be held at chapultepec and archery at UNAM isles, Pepsi center for weightlifting and Chapultepec golf club for golf. Expo santa fe and expo banamex as well as WTC could also host plenty of events. So from an existing infrastructure POV mexico city would definitely be the safest choice if MOC and the government wants to bring olympics back into mexican soil

But, i heard a while ago a joint bid of the three Mexican cities is possible.

What did they use for the Pan-Ams?

Someone posted in the "2036 Olympics: Crowded Field" thread a map of Antarctica, which very well could be an ideal location for probably a winter games, not so much for a summer one.

As for my, I generally don't post maps or images of past replies or other posts. That requires too much work.

My OCD is also limited to mainly ceremonies and their need for choirs and properly placed flagpoles. So sue me.

I think they would probably 8 venues used from the 2011 Pan-Am Games. Mexico City would have 12, while Monterrey would use 5 venues.

Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey 2036

“Mexico is the latest country to express interest in staging the 2036 Olympic Games and the Mexican Olympic Committee (MOC) has begun discussions with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over the feasibility of a bid.”

“A host city has not been defined but it is thought that Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey will be frontrunners as they have are claimed to have the capacity to organise the event.”

“The trio are also Mexico's host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”

 

[stryker]

It's a non starter no matter what city they choose. In addition to the massive infrastructure investment needed, security would be a nightmare.

I don't think the IOC wants to entertain the prospect of athlete's getting caught in a crossfire between rival cartels.

[Nacre]

The cartels don't hurt tourists. They are the majority shareholders of Mexico's resorts. (And sadly that isn't a joke . . .)

[baron-pierreIV]

Uhmmm . . . 

2028 - North America

2032 - Oceania

2036 - surely the SOGs cannot return to North America again.  It will be 12 years since Paris 2024, so the earliest Mexico can hope for realistically is 2040.  

[SportLightning]

I'm not sure Mexico could get either 2036 or 2040. Maybe Canada could get it.

As someone who has a hospitality undergrad degree and is working on his master's in hospitality... Yeah this is 100% true. The cartels are far more involved in the economy of mexico, and even in tourism (football especially) than the government would ever like to admit.

Not if they're trying to go for a winter games. I'm not sure that the IOC is willing to pull a Beijing/China twice within 15 to 20 years, in terms of repeating a summer and winter country so close together. Although they absolutely should because it's likely that Toronto would be the one getting summer.

[SportLightning]

I think Toronto-Montreal could get 2036.
