The Netherlands is an official candidate for the organization of the European Games of 2019. A majority of the Members of NOC * NSF has approved the nomination.
The sports federations have proposed conditions of participation. There should even security on the financing by the authorities, companies and individuals. The members want to own any financial risks. News agency ANP signed the warning words of André Bolhuis Chairman of NOC * NSF at:
“An important condition is that the federations should run no financial risk. It is inconceivable that they are the victims. It should also absolute certainty as to the financing of the required budget. If the municipalities, provinces and central government participation, we can not organize and does not go through. I want by November of this year have clarity on that. “
The European Games have a new big sports tournament, comparable to the Asian Games and Pan American Games that already occur. The first edition will be from 12 to 28 June held in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. The Dutch delegation consists of about 120 athletes, including cyclists, judo and volleyball.
The European Games will be held in 2019 for the second time. NOC * NSF has in recent months examined its organization in the Netherlands was “appropriate and feasible”. In the structure of the dome is the sports spectacle over the Netherlands in existing stadiums, reports Reuters. An expensive opening and closing ceremonies is not in the planning and separate athletes’ village is there, either.
The event should cost 125 million euros. Tough financial commitments are not there yet and the cities of Rotterdam and Utrecht have even said no, writes Reuters. Various sports associations were therefore worried. President Tjark de Lange handball league NHV denounced the reluctance of government.
“Shameful that realm so little about has such a magnificent sporting event which I am confident that we can organize it.”
The decision on the allocation of the host country falls on May 16 during a congress of the European Olympic Committee (EOC)
