The FINA World Championships for Swimming, which was scheduled to be held in Fukuoka City in May, is expected to be postponed as the infection of the new coronavirus spreads.
It means that we will make adjustments for the event around July next year.
The World Swimming Championships were scheduled to be held in Fukuoka City from May 13th to 29th for 17 days.
However, according to Fukuoka City, the FINA has informed us that it has agreed to hold a board meeting and postpone the event.
FINA is proposing to hold it around July next year.
The postponement is believed to be due to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus.
The FINA World Championships was originally scheduled for July last year, but it was postponed to May due to some overlap with the Tokyo Olympics, and volunteers were recruited to support the operation. ..
Fukuoka City intends to proceed with discussions with FINA, such as confirming whether it is possible to secure a competition venue around July next year.
