Best City To Host The Olympic Games In 2020 From Africa by yoruba: 11:46am On Oct 08, 2009
The 2020 Summer Olympics (officially known as the Games of the XXXII Olympiad) are expected to be a major international sports and cultural festival to be celebrated in the tradition of the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee has yet to begin the selection process; a host city is expected to be announced in mid-2013.

IOC members have suggested that the organization should award the Games to an African nation.

The Candidate cities are:

Rabat, Morocco

Rabat will apply to host the 2020 Olympic Games. It's the first time that Morocco will place a bid to host the games.


Cape Town

Cape Town will likely bid for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games and intends on building on from the foundation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The bid is also supported by the Cape Chamber of Commerce. Cape Town has hosted a number of World Championships in various sports including Hockey, Fencing, Modern Pentathlon, Cycling and many others. Cape Town previously bid for the 2004 Olympic Games placing 3rd behind Rome and eventual host Athens. Approximately 70% of the venues required for the Games will be in place by 2013.

Durban

Durban’s plans to host the 2020 Summer Olympics have been boosted by the IOC deciding on that city as the venue for the IOC General Assembly’s congress in 2011. Acting chief executive of Durban Tourism Perry Moodley intimated that hosting the event was a tactical move in light of the city's plans to host a Summer Olympics. Moodley stated further: "Getting Olympic decision-makers from around the world in Durban is most important".
