SportAccord today announced that the SportAccord Convention in Baku, scheduled for May of this year, has been postponed to a later date to ensure the best possible experience for the host and participants. SportAccord remains fully committed to hosting an edition of the SportAccord Convention in Baku, recently named World Capital of Sport, and an announcement on the rearranged dates will be made in due course.
SportAccord President Prof. Dr. Uğur Erdener said:
“We are grateful to our partners in Azerbaijan and the city of Baku for their flexibility and continued commitment to hosting the SportAccord Convention. We have no doubt they will host an exceptional edition of this special event when the time is right.”
Azerbaijan’s Minister of Youth and Sports, H.E. Farid Gayibov said:
“Azerbaijan has proven itself to be a safe and reliable partner to sport’s stakeholders. We have no doubt that the SportAccord Convention in Baku will showcase this capability and ensure the ideal setting for discussions which will shape the future of sport. We look forward to welcoming the world’s sports leaders on their road to the next Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
SportAccord is also finalising plans for an exciting programme of initiatives later in the year, including the IF Forum, with further updates to follow in the coming weeks.
With SportAccord in advanced discussions with a number of world-class cities regarding future editions of the Convention, the organisation expects to be able to soon announce host locations for the coming years.
