The Minister of Transandean Economy expects the Category Cup to attract more than 230,000 tourists during the duration of the competition.
After Indonesia lost the venue for the Under-20 World Cup because the Asian government hoped to sideline Israel for championing the Palestinian cause, the competition began looking for a venue to hold its activity.
Of course, FIFA shouldn’t have waited too long for the first people interested in the World Cup to appear. One of the first to jump by raising their hand was Argentina who this Monday he was officially confirmed as the new organizer .
It is an opportunity celebrated in all regions across the mountain range. One of the reasons is that the tournament becomes a new source of income for the country, sinceAccording to estimates by the team of Sergio Massa, Minister of Economy, around 230,000 tourists are expected to arrive, leaving around 600 million .
“It is an economic opportunity to receive thousands of tourists, to generate foreign exchange, work, to receive the technology that the organizers at the international level bring for the development of this event. . Obviously, in this sense, we hope that the provincial governments and the various sub-sites also fulfill their part and we live up to the opportunity that represents the organization of a World Cup like this”, has declared Massa during a press conference.
For his part, the Minister of Sports and Tourism of Argentina, Matías Lammens added that “We estimate a large number of visitors from all over the world, especially from neighboring countries ”, adding that they expect around 230,000 foreigners during this period.
The play by Chiqui Tapia
Once FIFA confirmed it would withdraw the Under-20 Cup hosting from Indonesia, Argentine Football Association President Claudio Tapia began pulling strings to secure the competition .
Not only thinking about the organizing field, but also to bring the Argentinian team into the Competition as the organizing country. Recall that the Albiceleste, like Chile in the qualifiers for the South American Cup, ended up adding a failure. The team then led by Javier Mascherano finished in fourth place in Group A, behind Brazil, Colombia and Paraguay. He only added three points, product of the victory against Peru. The other matches ended in defeats. .
And after all that, and with Argentina’s presence now assured, Chiqui Tapia bragged about his maneuver on social media, posting a photograph of the World Cup on Twitter with the text “Masterclass, as the kid would say “, confirming the comments he had previously shared with C5N.
“Very happy that FIFA was able to formalize that this is the Under-20 World Cup. It is very important for the development of our team, with many competitions. Welcoming and hosting the 23 teams, being part of them, is extremely important “, he expressed to the aforementioned media.
He also spoke about the importance of winning the Adult World Cup in Qatar to streamline procedures. “Being world champion puts you in a different position. We found a quick response from Infantino, from President Domínguez de la Conmebol. Argentina’s presentation came just 24 hours after Indonesia’s World Cup was lowered and Infantino was in Paraguay. And that the government accompanies us with administrative requests, both in the economy and in sport “, he added.
Argentina now have a few weeks to finalize details for the competition which will run from May 20 to June 11 this year.
