The official announcement of the Asian Cup will not be held in China, the Cancellation of the Shantou Asian Youth Games, and the postponement or cancellation of the Hangzhou Asian Games, so what are the venues we have spent a lot of money to build? Hello everyone, welcome to this issue, remember to like and follow. On May 16, Beijing time, the Asian Cup China Organizing Committee officially announced: The Asian Cup originally scheduled to be held in China on June 16, 2023 is affected by the epidemic, and it is difficult for the Chinese Organizing Committee to make commitments and arrangements for next year's Asian Cup to be held in a fully open mode. After joint consultation with the AFC, the Chinese Football Association and the organizing committee of many parties, it was decided that the Asian Cup football tournament will be held in a different place. It is worth mentioning that before that, the official organizing committee of the Hangzhou Asian Games was also officially announced that the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games would be postponed, and the specific resumption date was unknown, and the third Asian Youth Games held in Shantou was directly cancelled.
This Asian Cup, more than 20 cities in China want to hold, and finally after the AFC and the organizing committee of the selection and elimination of 10 cities in China to hold. To this end, China has prepared for a long time. Shanghai, Dalian, Xiamen, Chengdu and other cities have also built new stadiums for the Asian Cup. According to reliable sources, in order to host the Asian Cup, the Chinese Organizing Committee has charged a lot of fees to the host city, starting at 15 million, which is only the registration fee for the group stage, and the highest 30 million is the city that hosts the most critical final. The cost exceeded RMB200 million.
In other words, it is to use money to buy the qualifications, which can also be understood as advertising expenses, after all, the Asian Cup also has a certain impact in Asia. So now we don't hold the event, and the money collected is returned to those cities that signed up for the event? And what about the half-repaired venues? What if I'm halfway through the road? Because the house prices in some cities where the Asian Cup is held are speculated, this is not held, the house prices will fall immediately, and investors may also run away and lead to the emergence of direct rotten buildings. If we need comfort, can we use these stadiums to host a new version of the Club World Cup or bid for the World Cup? But this is at least 10 years from now, but it is a pity that these hugely invested venues have been built.
With the cancellation of the Asian Cup Asian Youth Games, as well as the infinite postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, although we all know that the organizers must be at a loss, and even the Beijing Winter Olympics that ended before the successful end, but also in a state of loss, but for the organizing committee to cancel or postpone the decision, we are very supportive, the reason why we are keen to hold a variety of large-scale events, mainly want to drive consumption and improve the economy through these competitions, improve the visibility of the city, etc. But now a strong China does not need these to prove itself, even in the current bad environment, holding events is a loss of money and profits, so I believe that our organizers will not die to face the guilt, we must focus on the construction of national defense, the basic people's livelihood and facilities construction, and put energy into the national sports exercise. What do you think of this in front of the screen? Welcome to the comments in the comments to exchange thank you.
