LuizGuilherme 202 Posted March 13 #12 Share Posted March 13 São Paulo gonna be hard to beat in 2031, even more because they have thoughts about hosting the 2040 Olympics and the Pan can be a lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect the IOC is unlikely to touch Brazil for the next few decades. Rio did not leave them with positive PR fwiw Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Brazil (and Mexico) is on a limbo because it's not either safe option neither ground breaking. With the lack of cities vying, it could open a path for São Paulo, provided that they host a superb Pan Am in 2031 and start to host more and more international sports events. But we know that the interest for hosting comes and goes. In the 70/80s it was fairly easy to get: only 4 cities in total applied for 76/80/84 and one of them pulled out - and other 2 for 88. But then in the 90s you had dozens of cities trying... LuizGuilherme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasolini 149 Posted March 14 #15 Share Posted March 14 But coming back to 2027 I wonder if Lima also hopes to host an OG. I think it is too much gamble, given the political issues. They certainly have done the best legacy plan for a Continental I've seen in a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it does seem like they host regular events at a few of the venues. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
