Australia should be awarded the 2022 World Cup because the 2000 Sydney Olympics was such an outstanding event, that showed the country is capable of staging majors events better than anyone else, Cathy Freeman has claimed. Sydney is still widely considered to be the most successful in the Movement's history and were described by then International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samaranch as the "best ever".
"Australia is the best choice to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022 because we have experience that we have grown out of the Sydney Olympics in 2000," said Freeman. "We are a sports loving nation and football is our growing passion.As a show of her support, Freeman met a delegation of FIFA inspectors in July, when they visited Australia to examine the credentials of Australia's bid to win the right to host the World Cup in 2022.
"The 2022 FIFA World Cup held here in Australia will unite Australia - just as the Sydney 2000 Olympics did," said Freeman."This is our opportunity to showcase to the world the very best of who we are.
"I encourage all Australians to support our country's bid by adding your name to www.australiabid.com.au."
