Egypt is leaving no stone unturned as the country prepares to make an official bid for the 2026 Olympic Games and 2030 World Cup joint bid with Saudi Arabia and Greece.

The country’s National Olympic Committee (NOC) says “it is time for Africa” because it tries to grow to be the primary nation on the continent to host the Olympic Games.

The Egyptian official confirmed that authorities were “currently working on preparing a comprehensive file in this regard to be submitted along with the proposed request” to the IOC.


The ongoing construction of facilities in the Olympics Village is at the rate of 90% of completion.
IOC President Thomas Bach has previously spoken of his determination to see African nations bid to host the Games as it remains the only populated continent not to have hosted an Olympics.


Ashraf Sobhy, the Egyptian Sports Minister, said during a reception for Bach in Cairo that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has given his approval to submit a formal application to host the major sporting event.

Sobhy said he had held a recent meeting with Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa President Mustapha Berraf, claiming that Berraf “confirmed the union’s keenness and support for Egypt to host the Olympic Games scheduled for 2036”.


Cairo International Stadium and other facilities
Work is currently underway to build a multi-million-dollar sports complex, called the Egypt International Olympic City, in the new administrative capital, located 45 kilometres east of Cairo.


The project is expected to feature a 90,000-seat stadium, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts and an indoor venue.

Sobhy believes the new development will boost Egypt’s ambition but admitted that officials will still be assessing technical, logistical and financial aspects before submitting an official request to the IOC.


As well as Egypt, officials in India, Mexico Spain, and Turkey have all expressed an interest in bidding for the 2036 Olympic Games.


Cape Town in South Africa was the last African city to bid for the Olympics as it lost out to the Greek capital Athens for the 2004 Games, finishing third out of five bidders in the poll in 1997.


South Africa has also been previously mooted as a possible host for the Olympics in 2024 and 2028 but no bid was tabled.


Senegal is set to become the first African country to stage the Youth Olympic Games when Dakar plays host in 2026

If successful with its bid, Egypt would become the first African or Arab nation to host the Olympics.

The Egyptians have bid for 3 earlier Olympics (1916, 1938 and 2008), with South Africa – in 2004 – the one different African nation to have additionally tried.

The subsequent three summer season Games are scheduled to be in Paris in 2024, Los Angeles in 2028 and Brisbane in 2032.


Also, Egypt is considering making a joint bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup along with Saudi Arabia and Greece.

The governments of all three countries have given the green light to push on with the application process for what would be the second winter staging of the World Cup after Qatar this year.

Most of the costs will be borne by the Saudis, with the majority of matches staged in their country.

govt’ll stabilise new notes supply soon

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Saturday, said the government’s currency swap is not meant to target innocent citizens but corrupt persons and terror financiers hoarding illicit monies.

He also assured Nigerians that the government will ensure that they and their businesses will face no harm from disruptions caused to the entire supply chain arising from the currency swap.

According to a statement signed on Saturday by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari was reacting to reports of long queues of people waiting for hours for their turn to deposit old notes and get new ones.

The statement is titled ‘Government will eliminate squeeze, chaos in currency swap, President Buhari assures.’

Last November, the Central Bank announced that it will redesign the N200, N500 and N1000 notes of the Naira.

It said the populace has until January 31, 2023, to return all old notes to commercial banks.


At the unveiling of the new Naira notes at the State House on November 23 2022, the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, told journalists that the January deadline remains sacrosanct and will it be shifted for any reason.

However, as Nigerians inch closer to the deadline, The PUNCH reports that the new notes in circulation have been grossly insufficient.

More so, most commercial banks and their automated teller machines still dispense the old notes to customers.

It’s sad to see baba unwillingly allowing Tinubu to bring dislike to himself. He should absolutely stop following him to campaign ground. Katsina and the whole of northern Nigeria have made their point clear on going with Atiku this time around, he should not allow Tinubu to stain his white please.

Yakubu, who said the commission might the commission may consider other options for the collection of PVCs, expressed satisfaction with the desire of Nigerians to collect their voters’ cards.

He said out of the 940,200 PVCs sent to Lagos state, about 839,720 have so far been collected as of Thursday.

Recall that the INEC during his appearance at Chatham House last week disclosed there would be a mock accreditation with the BVAS machines before the election proper.
