Durban Olympics 2020 Durban gets support right at the top to make their bid for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games!

There has been much excitement amongst the Durban locals this week after the Mayor of Durban, Obed Mlaba, formerly announced that Durban plans to bid for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. The Olympic Games have never been on African soil, so Durbans win will be as historic as South Africas win of World Cup 2010. South Africas president Jacob Zuma has also extended his support for the Durban Olympics in 2020. South Africa has shown the world it can host a major world event with its outstanding hosting of the FIFA World Cup, and it now sets its sites on hosting more world tournaments and events.

South Africas Olympic body, SASCOC, has now announced that it will formerly oversee an Olympic bid for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, with Durban being considered the favourite city to win the Olympic bid.

Even the president of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, who hailed the recent FIFA World Cup in South Africa as an outstanding success, has backed the Olympic bid and has said that if a country can host the World Cup, it can easily host the Olympic Games.

The World Cup has proven to be an excellent advertisement for Durbans ability to host the Olympic Games, as all the infrastructure needed to host such a massive tournament is already in place for the Olympics in 2020, and will just need a bit of polishing up! The Major of Durban, Obed Mlaba, has said that feasibility studies are to be conducted, and has already spoken of where the Olympic Village in 2020 will be as well as the Aqua Centre and Equestrian facilities, so it is all full steam ahead for the Durban Olympic bid for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
