Tens of thousands of people in the region will require extensive training in the next 7 years to make both events a success. Seven local universities and one college have recently won a national competition to become training centres for these major world sporting events. These institutions have already started looking for assistance from countries with recent experience of major sporting events, as they have the money to pay for it. They already have the funding to pay for it.
