This Tuesday in Ezeiza, the representatives of the countries which aspire to the nomination will meet in the first general assembly of the corporation. There, the board of directors will be established and the executive secretary will be elected, a post where the strongest candidate is Michael Boys. The Minister of Sports, Alexandra Benado, advances the national objectives of the common candidacy and details how the financing of the future site will be done.
This Tuesday, at 10 a.m., at the Julio Humberto Grondona property in Ezeizaa very important summit meeting will be held for the bid for the 2030 FIFA World Cup promoted by Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile. This will be the first assembly of the Juntos 2030 Corporation, in which the final positions will be established and also The general secretary of the entity will be elected, a key role for the success of the candidacy.
preliminary, The agreement envisages Uruguay at the head of the organization, Argentina at the vice-presidency, Chile at the secretariat and Paraguay at the treasury. Likewise, the respective federations will be integrated into the board of directors of the company. In this sense, the idea of the application is to take advantage of the characteristics of each of the participants. SO the national representation will provide the scheme of work, reflected in the organization of Santiago 2023 as a mega-event, which would leave Chile in a position only comparable to Brazil in terms of experience.
Another of the advantages that Chile offers -recognized in the Creole hosts- is its economic stability which makes the country have a greater capacity to obtain financing through credits, but the great flaw that the application presents today is the absence of a venue that hosts at least one of the semi-finals of the World Cup, since the National Stadium and the Monumental Stadium do not meet the minimum conditions for an event of this magnitude. . This is why the government has decided to build a new redoubt, as confirmed by the Minister of Sports, Alexandra Benado.
“Every day that the bid for the 2030 World Cup advances is one step closer to building a new sports venue. Without a doubt, it must meet FIFA access standards for this type of event, which will mean having a hall for 60,000 people” says the Secretary of State Jock.
While acknowledging that “it would be irresponsible” to establish at this stage an area in which the new stadium will be located, the authority acknowledges that The approval of the law on tax exemptions for sporting events will be essential, “An initiative that will put us on the front line as a venue for the World Championships, Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, South American Games, etc.” . And he adds: “This project is currently in the Senate and we hope that it will be a law of the Republic as soon as the legislative work resumes.”
The construction of this new place pursues the objective of aspiring to receive at least a semi-final in the event of victory at the 2030 meeting. “Without a doubt, as a country, we deserve to have decisive phase matches for what we want to be our World Cup. Today we have venues that could host group matches, round of 16 final and quarter-finals, but we definitely want the decisive matches of the World Cup to be played in Chile.” advance.
On the other hand, the Minister points out that the meeting this Tuesday will be a good example of gratitude for the support given the dramatic situation affecting the country. “As a ministry, we are aware of the unfortunate situation unfolding in our country. The candidacy for the 2030 World Cup not only obliges us to respect certain previously established commitments, but it is also a good opportunity to deepen the ties between our countries. I am grateful for the expressions of solidarity expressed by them in the face of the tragedy that southern Chile is experiencing,” he said.
The trip to Argentina also pursues another important objective: secure the appointment of Michael Boys as Executive Secretary. The Chilean’s name was suggested by Sebastián Bauzá, former president of the Uruguayan Football Association and now that country’s national sports secretary. There is an agreement between the countries to have the Chilean, so his appointment to this strategic position should be confirmed at Tuesday’s meeting. In this sense, the professional’s experience in the world of mega-events is highly valued by members of management.
The day also includes the presence of ministers and presidents of federations, that of the president of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez, and that of world champion footballers with Argentina. To know: Franco Armani (Qatar 2022); Óscar Ruggeri, Jorge Burruchaga, Ricardo Giusti (Mexico 1986) and Ricardo Villa, Omar Larrosa and Alberto Tarantini (Argentina 1978).
