Olympics, Abodi: ‘Rome by 2040 – now it’s possible’

Rome, 13 June (LaPresse) – Rome’s bid to host the Olympics by 2040 is a "dream we are nurturing. And to make dreams come true, we need to work hard and then, when the time comes, everyone will know how to play their part. There is a prospect for the coming decade.‘ So said the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, in an interview with “Il Corriere della Sera”. Will Naples be involved too? ’There could also be a partnership with other cities; after all, for Rome 1960, many team events were held in other venues. Rome’s central location holds enormous appeal, and other cities have already expressed their interest verbally. We have moved past the phase of doubts and opposition that characterised earlier stages. The conditions are now in place, and we know that the coming decade could bring this opportunity. It is up to us to do things the right way, and the right way is to organise ourselves as effectively as possible, improve our infrastructure, and build the harmony essential for credibility and success.”
