World Aquatics announced its readiness to hold the World Championships in Russia

The head of the International Aquatics Federation (World Aquatics), Hussein Al-Musallam, announced his readiness to hold the World Championships in Russia. This was stated to Sport Baza by the President of the Russian Aquatics Federation Dmitry Mazepin.

The Russian functionary noted that he spoke with a foreign colleague on the phone. “He said: “I’m ready to consider holding the World Championship, but with one condition: not in Kazan. It will be Moscow or St. Petersburg. Because there was already a tournament in Kazan,” Mazepin said.

Kazan hosted the world champion in aquatics in 2015. The tournament was supposed to be held there again in 2025, but was moved to Singapore due to sanctions against Russian athletes.
