ARBR doesn't have their AC40, AM doesn't have their AC40, Luna Rossa & K-Challenge doesn't have it either. Which City will pony up the $$$$ in a Post-COVID World with every Economy in the Tank in Europe.
Come now, stop being such a downer. Dalts is busy sorting out the most lucrative offers and looking at squeezing a little more from them before any announcement can be made.

I heard the Saudi offer is top at the moment...

The 2024 America's Cup sailing in Barcelona has asked for help from the banks in the face of the blockade of the Generalitat of Catalonia. The organization of the race of regattas has gone to the financial sector to pay expenses because the Government can not contribute the nearly 30 million euros that it promised to have for approval of next year's budgets stopped waiting to find support.

It is explained by sources familiar with the ins and outs of the organization of the sports competition, which "has had to go to the banks to ask for financing because it can not wait for the rhythms of the public administrations". Especially of one, the Generalitat, which had to contribute about 30 million and has not been able to do so because it does not have accounts for the year 2023. "And the Copa America already has expenses to pay. It's an expensive event and needs funding."

— Will the rest of the teams take a long time to accompany you?

— Teams have until June to build their foundations. The Port of Barcelona gave them instructions and presented their proposals last November. The next step will be the hiring of local engineering and construction companies to be able to start working from April. In June, the six teams will be installed in Barcelona, training until October 2023. In the case of the Swiss team, they were allowed to train here earlier because they did not participate in the previous Copa America. It was a way to give him a chance to catch up. In addition, Switzerland has no sea.

America's Cup, President Solinas: "Sardinia is confirmed as a popular destination for prestigious events that guarantee international visibility"

This was stated by the President of the Region, Christian Solinas, after the approval, by the Regional Council, of the 2023-2025 Finance Law.
Cagliari, 3 February 2023 - "Thanks to the allocation of over 6 million euros, Sardinia will be able to host one of the America's Cup 2024 preparation regattas with the five international sailing teams, confirming itself as a popular destination to host prestigious events, which guarantee international visibility. Our promotion strategy through major sporting events continues in an active way". This was stated by the President of the Region, Christian Solinas, after the approval, by the Regional Council, of the 2023-2025 Finance Law.

"Now that we have allocated the necessary resources, we must be ready for an absolutely unique event that will bring, thanks to media coverage, especially television, the city of Cagliari and the whole of Sardinia to the world limelight - added the regional councilor for tourism, Gianni Chessa - The presence in Cagliari for at least two weeks of the protagonists of the challenge for the conquest of the most famous and important trophy of world sailing, which will take place in Barcelona in 2024, also guarantees an important economic impact on the territory. Obviously, we will also evaluate a contour of nautical and sailing events that act as an attraction for enthusiasts".

"An important investment for an event that, taking place in autumn, will contribute to the achievement of some objectives of tourism promotion through sporting events: the deseasonalization of tourist flows and the lengthening of the season", concluded Councilor Chessa.

ACE has not confirmed Cagliari as one of the Venues to host an ACWS Event @Fiji Bitter
I'll wait on an Official Confirmation from them before I jump the ship and say Cagliari will host one.

Dalton has made it pretty clear that the Cities who missed out hosting AC37 will have the first refusal and Cagliari wasn't among them.

My gut feel is it will be MALAGA, not Cagliari.

The village of the event is foreseen between the seafront of via Roma and that of viale Colombo. The event is expected to take place in October, but could also be postponed to the following spring.
