据分析，申办大运会，深圳机遇与挑战并存。申办优势主要表现在四个方面：一是国家教育部、体育总局和省政府是申办工作的坚强后盾；二是经过25年发展，深圳综合实力不断增强，已具备承办重大国际赛事的实力。另外现有的体育场馆经过扩充改造，完全能满足举办大运会的需要；三是北京第21届大运会给国际大体联留下深刻印象，他们对中国举办大运会充满信心；四是深圳市气候、地缘、环境、交通等都具有明显优势，海陆空立体交通十分便利，到2011年地铁三号线还将通至新建的龙岗奥林匹克体育新城。但与此同时，面临的挑战也不少：2001年起大运会已连续几届在亚洲举办，另外，由于各国对世界大学生运动会越来越重视，申办城市之间的竞争也将非常激烈。这些困难不可小视。 http://
新建、改建50个场馆
据介绍，世界大学生运动会比赛项目一般在12个左右，参考2001年北京举办大运会的经验，大运会需要的比赛及训练场馆数量在50座左右。目前深圳市拥有各类正式体育场馆30座，正在建设或拟建的体育场馆10个。在现有场馆基础上，深圳市还需建体育场馆10个左右，重点放在区一级和大专院校。
体育场馆建设的“重头戏”是选址龙岗中心城西区的“奥林匹克体育新城”。据介绍，“奥体新城”总面积达13.4平方公里，其中将包括一个以体育活动为主的总面积达6.5平方公里的奥林匹克体育公园（简称奥体公园）。而奥体公园中则包括一座可容纳6万名观众的主体育场，大运会开闭幕式将在此举行；一座可容纳1.8万名观众的主体育馆；以及游泳中心、全民健身广场等。按照规划定位，奥体新城瞄准的赛事定位是承办国家、亚洲乃至世界级大型综合体育赛事和各类国际、国内专业赛事，并成为深圳的全民健身活动基地。
