Can one say, “John Doe for World Cup,” meaning “I vote for John Doe to have a place in the national team”?

Question

Or, in the same manner, "John Smith for Olympics" meaning any place in a team, crew, etc?

I know that it's common practice to say "John Doe for president," but here "president" is a profession/title, while "World cup" and "Olympics" aren't.

Answer 1

You can say (as JoseK already reported in a comment) "John Smith for the Olympics".
