The candidacy of Buenos Aires 2018 was announced on August 30, 2011 and is Argentina's first application to host the Youth Olympic Games , but the Argentine capital applied for the Summer Olympic Games in 1936 , 1956 , 1968 and 2004 without success. In October 2013, IOC President Thomas Bach appointed Namibian sprinter Frank Fredericks chairman of the organizing committee of the 3rd Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2018. After allegations of corruption, Fredericks resigned from this office in 2017.
The footballer and Olympic champion Lionel Messi was ambassador for the Games in Argentina. He sent a video welcome message to the young athletes in Buenos Aires during the closing ceremony in Nanjing, China in 2014 .
Sports facilities
At the beginning of the application two zones ("Green Corridor" and "Roca Park") were planned for the games in Buenos Aires. Later there was a 4-zone concept, which should allow the games to take place in the city center. In the end, the competitions were held in five large sports facilities and three smaller facilities outside of Buenos Aires.
