  3. The Olympic Games Pierre De Coubertin – (Paris, 1863 – Geneva, 1937) The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens in 1896. Pierre de Coubertin headed the International Olympic Committee from its creation in 1894 to 1925. Perceiving them to be central to any individual's development, he fostered sports and physical activity as a way to strengthen the mind. The Rings « The Olympic flag is completely white, with five intertwined rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red. As such, it symbolizes the five parts of the world united by the Olympic sprit and its six colours summarize those of all the national flags currently floating around the world. » Pierre de Coubertin 1931 The motto: « Citius - Altius – Fortius” Faster - Higher - Stronger Those three Latin words became the motto of the Olympic spirit in 1894. They were suggested by Pierre De Coubertin, who himself borrowed them from his friend Henri Didon, a Dominican priest who taught sports to his pupils. To give the best of oneself. To consider this elevation as a victory. To demand the best of oneself. Being first should not necessarily be the priority. “The important thing is not winning but taking part.” The flame A precise ritual follows the flame from its lighting to its extinction. The flame is lit in Olympia, Greece and then relayed all the way to the hosting city. Every participant carries the Olympic torch over a short distance and entrusts it to another. The relaying ends at the opening ceremony of the games. The last carrier – who is generally a champion from the hosting nation – lights the Olympic flame with his torch. The Olympic flame in turn burns throughout the games and is extinguished at their conclusion.

  4. CIO The Olympic Games Jacques Rogge - Born 1942, Belgium - Elected on July 16, 2001 as the eight president of the IOC. The non-governmental International Olympics Committee (IOC) is the founder and supreme authority of the Olympic movement.

The official languages of the IOC are English and French. The IOC is made-up of a maximum of 115 members. "Olympism is a philosophy of life, one that promotes and combines in a balanced manner the qualities of the body, of the will and of the mind. By associating sports, culture and education, the Olympic spirit promotes a lifestyle built on joy through effort, educating by example and respect for universal ehtical principles.” – as stated in the Olympic Chart 2004, Fundamental Principles 1 » Candidacies for the 2020/24 Olympic Games… September 15, 2007 is the deadline for cities to turn in their application to host the 2016 Olympic Games, as decided by the IOC in Kuwait City.The ICO will announce its final selection in 2009, during its general assembly in Copenhagen.

  6. L’ambition The Foundations: our ambitions • Help bring the Olympics to Africa • Bring the « Dream of the Africa 2020/24 Olympic Games » to Africa’s youth • Encourage media coverage and global support for this Dream • Support African independence, in the very spirit of the Olympics • Use our non-partisan status to help Africa realize several realistic territorial projects linked to the Olympics • Organize a global fund raiser directed by our international honour committee, with 100% of the funds in the form of contractual promises • Create business opportunities that are compatible with fair trade.

  7. Motivations The Foundations: our objectives • Founders, Ambassadors, Counsellors or Partners, all the human resources of the NewSporAfrica Foundation are working hard to make a worthy dream come true…. • To send a very big message of Peace • To offer recognition for African athletes • To support the credibility of African candidacies • To help the African economy • To foster the creation of many jobs • To structure assistance for Africa’s sporty youth • To converts the Olympic Games sites into Sports Academies • To promote multi cultural and multi sector exchanges

  8. Le continent A The African Continent Youth : 400 millions Africans Are under 20 Whether it be in sports, the arts, business, generosity, natural resources, diversity, history, spirituality, personality, Africa influences the world … So we may not all be African, yet a part of Africa is in all of us … 57 nations Land : 30 065 000 Km² Population : 950 000 000 Hab.

  9. AFRICA 2016 The challenge AFRICA 2020/4

  10. Le Défi The Challenge • Africa and all Africans must take an active part in meeting this challenge. • To this end: • They will support a positive dynamic for African Olympics around the world. • They will support the legitimacy of this claim. • They will come forward with projects for hosting the Olympic Games. • They will bring together the youth, as well as men and women around this event. They will express their best creativity in making this event a unique one • They will federate their political, economic and social forces to reach the goal. • They will encourage and support the participation of African athletes. Miracle Africa &NewSporAfrica wants to help Africa bring the Olympic Games to Africa. To this end: We aim to enlist the active support of men and women in the world. We aim to help African nations present ambitious yet realistic applications.We aim to drive a global fund raising drive.We aim to support attribution of the Olympic Games on a rotating basis. The International Olympic Committee will receive an African application to host the Olympic Games. This is a challenge: Because the IOC has not granted the Games to Africa since 1896. Because granting the Games to Africa would give the 5 rings all their meaning.Because it fits the values of Universality and Peace dear to Pierre De Coubertin Because it meets a just need for rotation between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. Because it places Human Values first, ahead of economic interests.

  11. Le Rêve a Call, a Dream and a Hope • Imagine…an athlete competing in the Olympics, making a victory sign, covering his or her shoulders in national colours while performing one last stadium run, an athlete who receives gold under the Olympic flame, while the anthems plays in the back, with the media in frenzy… • What could be more magical, universal and exceptional? • Millions of people have witnessed such scenes since the creation of the modern Olympic Games in 1896. A great long list of athletes, of hosting nations, all engaged in the competition, in the suffering and joy, all for the magic of the Olympics. • Indeed, universality, excellence, peace and openness to others are paramount values of Olympism.Why then should Africa not host the Olympic Games? • Africa 2020/24 is a Call … for the Olympic Games to be hosted in Africa. • Africa 2020/24 is a Dream … for Africa’s youth and the continent’s 920 million inhabitants • Africa 2020/24 is a Hope … for peace in Africa. • Africa’s natural resources are associated to the Olympics… • Yellow gold around athlete’s necks, black gold illuminating the world with the Olympic flame… • Africa 2020/24 is a call for the Northern Hemisphere accept a fair rotation of the Olympic Games, one that has been long in the coming since 1896.
