. . .until 2022 is what I say.

The world is still in the middle of this pandemic, and until vaccinations and protocols are shown to have brought this disease to heel the world over, one cannot really bring that many people together in a restricted space right now.

And I'm not talking about overseas tourists, either. Even if they weren't there, there's still a whole slew of people gathering - athletes, coaches, officials/referees, media companies' personnel, government officials, safety personnel, etc. that have to be accommodated.

For further insights, author/professor Jules Boykoff is an excellent source.
