Ajman launches audacious last minute World Expo 2020 bid

Eleventh hour application now bookies’ favourite

AJMAN: The small UAE emirate of Ajman has made a last minute bid to host the World Expo in 2020, less than three weeks before the chosen candidate is announced.

According to reports, the 11th hour application is now the bookies’ choice to succeed ahead of neighbouring Dubai, Ekaterinburg in Russia, Izmir in Turkey, Sao Paul of Brazil and the UK’s Hull.

“Ajman may be fairly small and without a great deal going on, but everyone likes to root for the little guy,” said Expo expert Fenton Kline. “We’re confident it will win the overall vote.”

In order to give its bid a boost, Ajman next week intends to raise a 50x30cm flag emblazoned with the words ‘Ajman Expo 2020’.

    How can Ajman hope to compare to the cosmopolitan city of Hull. A city recognised as the UK’s arts and culture capital.

    Amazing! The advantage of hosting such a huge expo in Ajman is that you’d just have to enter Ajman and you’d already be in the expo, right in your car!

    I had a strong feeling they’d bid for hosting it as I’ve seen lots of work going on in Ajman. Only last week, I witnessed a 2 year old pothole being covered and saw someone fix a leaking muncipal pipe. Things are bright for that lil city I tell ya.
