While the conflict between Russia and Ukraine does not come to an end, and seeking to gain publicity as the information in the global media about what is happening in Eastern Europe decreases, the Ukrainian president has an idea: organize a World Cup.
Yes, it is expected that this wednesday 5th of octoberthe president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, announces that his country joins the candidatures of Spain and Portugal to jointly organize the 2030 FIFA Cup.
It is the same World Cup The countries of the Southern Cone, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay have also applied jointly.
Although Ukraine has been besieged by invading Russian troops since February, Zelensky believes that by then his country will be in a position to host at least one of the groups in the biggest soccer competition.
The presentation of the joint application of Portugal and Spain was made in 2020, and then, in 2021, the intentions of Argentina, Paraguay, Chile and Uruguay were added, on the basis that it will be the centenary world cup, and taking into account that Montevideo was the venue for the first FIFA Cup in 1930.
Ukraine wants to receive at least one group of the 2030 World Cup
Ukraine already has experience in organizing major sporting events.
In 2012, Ukraine co-organized with Poland the European Championship that year.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian National Team is playing its home games in Poland.
Egypt, Greece and Saudi Arabia also applied to host the 2030 World Cup.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said in September that Spain and Portugal had a “winning bid”.
Adding Ukraine to the proposal of Spain and Portugal is a very interesting marketing move, both for the European countries that applied in principle, and for Zelensky.
For the Iberians, because it will give voters one more incentive to elect them. For the president of Ukraine, at this juncture, it adds attractiveness to the global media to follow with more attention what is happening on the battlefront.
It goes without saying that in order to organize the World Cup, the security problems should be solved in the next eight years.
The Ukrainian president’s strategies have been criticized in the past. The most discussed idea was the one carried out by his wife, Olena Zelenska, First Lady of Ukraine, who became the target of criticism after posing for Vogue magazine in the midst of war scenes.
“While the people of Ukraine are running for their lives, the President of Ukraine is busy having an affair with his wife at a photo shoot. Keep it up, President Volodymyr Zelensky! You are the inspiration of the nation”; “How serious is the war in Ukraine”; “So our billions of dollars go to a Vogue photo shoot in the middle of a war. Makes sense”; were some of the comments on social networks left by the Vogue photo session where the presidential couple was seen posing.
