2010 Europa Games (1983: Doomsday)



The first Europa Games are taking place in October 2010 in Prussia. Other regional events will also be held in 2010 in Pais de Oreo, Auckland, ANZC, Buenos Ares, UAE, and Charleston, Republic of Virginia.

Background
The Europa Games along with the other regional games came about as a by-product of discussions regarding the resumption of the Olympics as as a way for national federations to prepare for Auckland in both competition and organizationand allowing those countries who were unable to participate in the Olympics due to cost and/or logistical issues to still be able to participate in an international competition.

The creation of the Europa Games was announced in 2007, although the date they would be held and which nation would be hosting them remained undecided until December 2009 when it was announced that they were scheduled for October 1 - 10, 2010 and would be held in Prussia. The choice of Prussia as the hosting country was largely due to recent improvements in Prussian infrastructure,particularly the newly restored and modernized Olympiastadion where most of the athletic events will be held. The fact that King Christian personally lobbied the IOC officials may also have played a part in the decision. Some experts raised concerns about the possibility of staging a major sporting event in less than a year’s notice, but government officials see the games as a showcase of Prussia's rise as a European power.
