Sydney may plan to apply for a series of world-class sporting events, and the new state, government, said it plans to win 10 world events for Sydney in the next few years.
With more than 2 billion yuan of new venues nearing completion, Governor Gladys Berejiklian has given more money to bid for tournaments such as the Rugby World Cup.
The 10 World Cups include the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023, the Rugby World Cup in 2021, the Rugby League and Tennis World Cup in 2027, and the UCI Road World Bicycle Championships in 2022.
The reporter learned that in the next 10 years, this will cost 350 million yuan to pay for the bid. Sydney is Australia's only global city. Why don't we hold these global events? "
"as far as I'm concerned, the answer is obvious," Berejiklia said.
There is no doubt that the boldest bid was for the men's rugby world cup in 2027. Australia last hosted the event in 2003, generating a value of $578 million for the new state economy. Argentina and the United States are struggling to secure the rights to host the event, but government is confident it will be safe because Moore Park's Allianz Stadium,Parramatta Stadium and the upgraded ANZ Stadium in the Olympic Park have new facilities.
"the new state has proved over and over again that it can host truly significant international events, which is good for everyone," John Eales said.
Labour opposition insisted that the statement was just a justification for government's "spending money on stadium construction."
"you don't need to spend 2.3 billion yuan on these new stadiums to host these sports events," opposition party leader Luke Foley said. "you just don't need to."
, Rod McGeoch, the designer of the successful Sydney 2000 Olympics, oversees the progress of all these projects.
"We are not borrowing money. We will do it easily within the budget, so I think Sydney has a good chance, "Rod McGeoch, said.
