“This award confirms
what we have all known for a long time – Melbourne is the sporting capital of
the world,” Mr Holding said. When
Melbourne was crowned the sporting capital of the world in 2008.
He also claimed that
Melbourne is not only one of the world’s great sporting cities, it is claim
to be one of the world’s great event cities with a calendar of major events all
year round.
Melbourne doesn’t
only host one of four Tennis Grand Slams in the world, but it also host other
important international sporting events such as Formula 1 Grand Prix, Boxing
Day Test, Spring Racing Carnival and the Socceroos World Cup qualifiers, but
also the AFL Grand Final. But other than being the host of many sporting
events, doesn’t earn a city: the sporting capital of the world title, the
facilities and venues is also taken into consideration.
