MOB General Assembly decided in a resolution in February 6 that it recommends to Budapest and Hungary to explore the possibility of the organization of the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics.

Since then a lot of people spoke about it, and our fomer star said: it is worth it is worth the time and effort to work for the common cause.

“Feedbacks are extremely positive and a public opinion poll was published recently according to which the vast majority of Hungarians support the proposal of Budapest. In the light of this knowledge, it is our duty to at least examine the possibility of Candidature” Istvan Kovacs said to mob.hu.

Member of the Olympic Patronage Board said that it is the next months’ task to get the people know the possible consequences of an arrangement, but he is sure that Agenda 2020 is almost written for us, nemzetisport.hu said.
