This is a real vote with real consequences ! By voting, citizens have the opportunity to influence an important international decision and to help shape the future development and global profile of their country.

Major international sporting organizations like FIFA and the International Olympic Committee award hosting rights through competitive bidding processes and require governments to demonstrate significant financial and technical capacity. International organizations, meanwhile, often make important institutional decisions behind closed doors.

WSA has chosen a different path. They believe that the decision to chose the host country of their WSA International Academy and Headquarters belongs to the people and that citizens should be the ones voting.

This marks a historic first: an international organization placing a major institutional decision directly in the hands of citizens worldwide. If you want to help bring this world-class centre for sport, education, innovation, and international cooperation to your country, become a United Citizen and cast your vote!
