With the tailwind of the Grand Départ Duesseldorf 2017, the state capital Duesseldorf is heading into the sporting year 2018 and perhaps the European Championship 2024 |
|
Duesseldorf, 29 December, 2017 (APA/OTS) - At the end of 2017, the year in which the state capital Duesseldorf hosted three major sporting events: the European Triathlon Championship, the World Table Tennis Championships and the Grand Départ of the Tour de France, the city is able to draw a positive conclusion and look forward to the sporting year 2018! |
For the first German start of the Tour in thirty years, well over a
million visitors from all over the world came to Duesseldorf from 29
June to 2 July 2017. At 74 percent, the large majority was not from
Duesseldorf, and 25 percent alone came from abroad. And although it
poured on the day of the first stage, the people of Duesseldorf and
the visitors celebrated a summer's tale in the rain.
Mayor Thomas Geisel: "By hosting the Grand Départ, we wanted to
give our city marketing a boost, promote Duesseldorf as a cycling
city and give a strong signal both for the Franco-German friendship
and the regional cooperation. We succeeded. There's no doubt: the
Grand Départ Duesseldorf 2017 was a great success for the state
capital Duesseldorf and has changed its profile and its image in the
world, and also as a reliable partner in the region. That's shown by
the comments from home and abroad."
The image gain for Duesseldorf through the start of the Tour is
enormous. According to calculations of press relations, the media
presence of the Grand Départ Duesseldorf 2017 in the time from 1
August 2016 to 31 July 2017 through social media, print and online
reporting led to an advertising equivalent value of 343 million
Euros. According to analyses by Nielsen Sport, the TV images with
151 hours of visibility created an additional 13 million Euros of
advertising equivalent value in Germany. Nationally and
internationally, in the time from 28 June to 3 July 2017, 354.5
million viewers were reached by live TV broadcasts and secondary
reporting.
The hosting of the World Table Tennis Championships from 29 May to
5 June was also a great success. 58,000 spectators watched the
matches live in the halls on the eight days of the tournament.
Pictures of the tournament went to 122 countries worldwide via
television and internet. More than 320 million people watched the
World Table Tennis Championships on Chinese television.
Duesseldorf therefore looks back with great enthusiasm - but is
naturally also looking forward: in the coming year, among other
things the international football match between Germany and Spain is
to be held on 23 March 2018 in Duesseldorf, and from 23 to 25
February 2018, the first Judo Grand Slam in Germany is to be hosted.
Duesseldorf is thus one of six venues for the Judo Grand Slam series
- together with Paris, Tokyo, Baku, Yekaterinburg and Abu Dhabi.
Added to this are, for example, the national handball super cup,
national beach volleyball at Burgplatz right in the middle of the
city, the PSD Bank Meeting for track and field, the Metro Group
Marathon, the Champions Trophy for youth football and the T3
Triathlon.
But Duesseldorf also eagerly awaits the UEFA decision in September
2018 on the host country for the European Football Championship
2024, for which Turkey is bidding alongside Germany. With the ESPRIT
Arena, Duesseldorf is one of the ten venues with which Germany is
entering the UEFA bidding process for the hosting of the European
Championship 2024.
A total of 14 cities and stadiums submitted their documents within
the framework of the national bidding process - and Duesseldorf
achieved the third-best rating in Germany behind Berlin and Munich,
and the best in North Rhine-Westphalia.
"Duesseldorf could become the venue for an international football
tournament for the first time since 1988. That's is a huge success
for us. We are delighted that the DFB has selected Duesseldorf as
the venue for the European Football Championship 2024", said Thomas
Geisel, Mayor of the City of Duesseldorf. "2017 has especially shown
that the state capital of Duesseldorf is able to pull off major
international sports events with professionalism and enthusiasm."
