Rome 2024 Unveils Bid Website As Organizers Seek To Boost Publicity

An official Rome 2024 website went live on Tuesday as organizers "seek to boost the publicity surrounding their bid," according to Nick Butler of INSIDE THE GAMES. The website, which at this stage is a "teaser site," is accessible here, with much more content due to be rolled out over coming weeks. A bid video "has also been unveiled on the home page of the site, predominantly showcasing youngsters participating in numerous Olympic and Paralympic sports in iconic landmarks around the city." The website, currently available in Italian and English, also contains information about the host city and on the "Rome 2024 vision," as well as links to the bid's Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts. It "is the second city to set up a bid website after Los Angeles," the U.S. contender which entered the contest following the abandonment of Boston's bid in July (INSIDE THE GAMES, 9/29).
