Faster Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 In your bid you must outline the following (in a bid document no more than 15pages). 1. Concept The concept is simple to create an atmosphere of sporting celebration like has been done at previous events held in Scandinavia. The World Cup would be used as a cultural showcase and masterpiece for the world to see showing off the history, culture and people of the three host nations with nightly celebrations in the host cities with live music and broadcasting of the matches in city squars. The WC will be used as a launching pad to develope and maintain international football in the three nations and to give an infrastructure and stadium upgrade to the three countries. This will be in many areas the nightless World Cup 2. Region/Nation (s) Information If you want information go to wikipedia or our wonderful government websites. With the sea, rocks, fjords, lakes, islands and beautiful historic cities Scandinavia is the perfect place to host the tournament. 3. Transport and Infrastructure There is extrensive train, ferry and road services throughout the three nations and between them, along with the world famous SAS airlines there is also an extensive flight program in Norway and Sweden to get you where you want to go quicker.

Since there are many moderate sized cities in the three countries there are plent of locations for teams to set up camp and train for the tournement without too much bother. Of course locations for each team are up to the FAs of the respective countries. There are enough lavish hotels and rooms in the three nations to suit FIFA's needs. 5. Security As Denmark and Norway are members of NATO, NATO will be requested to maintain security. The Swedish military will be fully equiped to maintain security in Sweden. Foreign police will be allowed into the countries to maintain a level of security for their own citizens and to help boaster local police forces. Agreements with Germany, France and England have already been reached. 6. Culture Go to wikipedia. 7. Football Culture A total of 17 appearances have been made with runner-ups, multiple third places, multiple semis and quaters appearances, along with consistent appearances in the round of 16. Also Denmark has won the 1992 European Championship. Sweden has hosted before and routinely finishes well. Along with Olympic gold.

Faster Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 A three-nation bid? How can you balance the games between each one? And the dates wouldn't work either. Like always dates can be adjusted, but as much of the May 20th to June 20th corridor must be kept within the timeframe of the tournament, the backup dates are June 1st to July 1st. The outline of hostings between the three nations is in the plan: King Haakon VII Olympiastadion - Oslo - 55,000 - host of 8 matches, including opener, quaterfinal and semi-finalLerkendal Stadion - Trondheim - 40,000 - host of 7 matches, one round of 16 Bergen International Stadion - Bergen - 45,000 - host of of 7 matches, one round of 16, one quaterfinal Nya Malmo Stadion - Malmo - 40,000 - host of 5 matchs, one round of 16 Nya Ullevi Stadion - Goteborg - 43,000 - host of 5 matches, one round of 16 New Rasunda Stadion - Solna - 50,000 - host of 5 matches, one round of 16, Stockholn - the Nokia Swedish National Stadion - 70,000 - host of 6 matches, one round of 16, quaterfinal and final Parken Stadion - Copenhagen - 55,000 - host of 7 mathcs, one round of 16, quaterfinal BMW Stadion Denmark - Copehagen - 65,000 - host of 7 matches, one round of 16, semi-final Arhus Idraetspark - Arhus - 45,000, host of 7 matchs, one round of 16, 3rd place match The plan is to Norway with 22 matches because they do not have the final or 3rd place match, 21 matches in Denmark and 21 matches in Sweden. Sweden will recieve: 4 round of 16's 1 quaterfinal 1 final Denmark will recieve 2 round of 16's 1 quaterfinal 1 semi-final 1 3rd place match Norway will recieve 2 round of 16's 2 quaterfinals 1 semi-final 1 opener As you can see from this map the host cities are relatively close to each other. Solna is not on the map but is a suburb of Stockholm. Only Trondheim is outside of the Bergen to Stockholm to Copenhagen triange. Bid Report Update The Norwegian Football Association has withdrawn Trondheim from the bid and will be replaced by Stavanger, Norway’s third largest city. The current stadium in Stavanger will be upgraded to a 40,000 by an addition to the lower deck and the building of a temporary upper level. This decision was made for logistical reason because Trondheim lies outside the Bergen to Stockholm to Copenhagen corridor which has an average travel time of just over 13 hours by bus. All previous match plans and infrastructure upgrades that were set for Trondheim will be moved to Stavanger. Also by request of FIFA the dates have been officially moved to the backup set of dates. The tournament will now run from June 1st to July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Den Norsk fotballForening, den Svensk fotballForening og Danish fotballForening i samarbeid med FIFA blitt enig konkurrere som en nasjon under navnet av Scandinavia om den tre nasjer er vellykket i deres bud iscenesette den 2018 verdenKopp. Planen har den felles lag konkurrerer en gang i hver av den tre nasjer, med den åpnende kamp i Norge og den påfølgende to kamper i Sverige og Denmark. All tre kamper lekt i hovedstedene av Copenhagen, Oslo og Stockholm. Det var underordnet innvendinger fra den Svensk fotballTavle, men det ble klar til organisasj0nkomiten under lederskapet av Tommy Svensson at det er hard rettferdiggjøre å giing tre av den 32 flekker på verdenKoppen til verter ; det gjør en disservice til kvaliteten av fotball i Europa. Nyhetene møttes med høflig applaus fra følger UEFA medlemer samt Italia, Tyskland, Frankrike og Spania og har den full støtte av den tre myndigheter, den tre fotballforeninger, UEFA og FIFA. På forhør det åpenbarte at der bare er underordnet kvoter av spillere fra hver land, med minimum være 4 og maksimum være 11. Men Lars-Er Lagrell sagt at antall spillerne fra hver nasjon er en ikke-utgivelse på grunn av den fremragende kvalitet av fotballå komming ut av naboe Norge og Denmark. Han også tilføyd at han var sikker at Sverige godt representerer i laget på grunn av Sveriges storied footballing tradisjon. The Norwegian Football Association, the Swedish Football Board and the Danish Football Board in cooperation with FIFA have agreed to compete as one nation under the name of Scandinavia if the three nations are successful in their bid to stage the 2018 World Cup. The plan is to have the joint team compete once in each of the three nations, with the opening match in Norway and the subsequent two matches in Sweden and Denmark. All three matches will be played in the capitals of Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. There were minor objections from the Swedish Football Board, but it became clear to the Organization committee under the leadership of Tommy Svensson that it would be hard to justify giving three of the 32 spots at the World Cup to hosts; it would do a disservice to the quality of football in Europe. The news was met with polite applause from follow UEFA members including Italy, Germany, France and Spain and has the full support of the three governments, the three football associations, UEFA and FIFA. Upon questioning it was revealed that there would only be minor quotas of players from each country, with the minimum being 4 and the maximum being 11. But Lars-Are Lagrell said that the number of players from each nation is a non-issue because of the outstanding quality of football coming out of neighbors Norway and Denmark. He also added that he was confident that Sweden would be well represented in the team because of Sweden’s storied footballing tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 If it's a Scandinavian bid, surely Finland has to be included. Don't most people understand that region to include Finland as well? Traditional Scandinavia is Jutland, the Jutland Archipelago, and the Scandinavian Peninsula. Only a very small part of Northern Finland is included in that land description. Finland is really only considered apart of Scandinavia in the English speaking world, as with Iceland. Norway, Sweden and Denmark are grouped together in a region because of social, royal and political ties that date back some 1000 years. Even the Faroe Islands, and Svalbard are not considered apart of Scandinavia by the majority of people. Not to mention Finns get fairly offened if you call them Scandinavia. If Finland was included it would have had to go under the name of the Nordic World Cup or something, because Nordic covers, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Svalbard, Norway, Denmark and Finland Also the bid is based on the Royal League, which is a footballing competition between clubs in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

Faster Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 News Report It is reported today that in the bid documents there was a major mistake in the number of beds that would be added to ech city. In the document it said 10,000, but in reality it will be between 1000 and 3000 (between 3 and 15 new hotels per city). The Organization committee is deeply sorry for this glaring mistake. The Organization committee would also like to introduce our partners in the bid: SAS Airlines Nokia Communications Norsk Hydro Statoil Arla Foods Ikea Danske Bank Ecco Sko and Lego (This list is for strickly fantasy reasons, I do not under any circumstances have any connection to any of these companies, I am not promoting or recommending any aforementioned companies, nor putting them in a negative light, Please don't sue me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphdude Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Im not crazy about this whole cross country hosting. To many mistakes, rivalry and misunderstanding could happen.

Faster Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 When I visited Denmark for the first time 8 years ago, the first thing a Dane told me was that Sweden is filled with lunatics Yeah, they must really adore each other Because of the history with the region there is a small amount of rivalry, but its all in good fun. Each nation has a minister for Nordic Cooperation, so there is a desire to work together to achieve goals and to showcase the region. This is a perfect example of cooperation to achieve a goal that would be unattainable as individual nations. Plus one person's opinion does not reflect an entire nations opinion, if in fact there is such a thing as a unified national opinion on a matter. I know, but still there is a potential for rivalry and trouble. We dont like eachother that much...But as I said, rock on, it will be fun to see, even if some of the projects sounds a bit tricky... You live in Denmark, so you know, like in other parts of Europe, there is significant non-flight infrasutructure between the three nations. There are multiple ferries, train lines, and even a bridge connecting Copenhagen to Malmo. There is also people in both Denmark and Sweden that work in one country and live in the other. Also the area is more compact then Korea-Japan and the water that seperates Norway and Sweden from Denmark is a lot smaller then that between Honshu and Korea. There will always be challanges, and in reality, there would be great rivalry to produce the best stadiums and to organize the matches better then each other, but if manipulated could result in the three nations pushing each other to achieve a great world cup. Friendly rivalry between countries is a lot different then open hate that comes out of Korea for Japan by some people in that country. I am not saying there is not hate between the three, just that its not as pronounced as with Korea towards Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying there is not hate between the three, just that its not as pronounced as with Korea towards Japan. No, I think you are right and I have no doubt that Scandinavia could do it, and that the friendly rivalry might be a bonus in the end. But I also think that that rivalry would kill the hosting chances much before Fifa had to elect us, if this was for real... It would have to be extremely well-planed and you had to be very careful, when chosing the cities and stadiums. Having said, most of the other things are already there, mostly the interregional infrastructure and the simulareties between the countries...
