Hungary to replace Mexico as 2017 championship hosts
The FINA World Championships
Budapest - Arab Today
Hungary will host the 2017 world swimming championships, the sports governing body, FINA, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced in Budapest Wednesday.
The event will be staged in Budapest after Cornel Marculescu, FINA executive director, signed an agreement with Orban in the Hungarian capital.
Mexico announced in February it was pulling out of hosting the event, originally scheduled for Guadalajara, as part of a massive drive to cut public spending.
The 2015 championships, which are held every two years, are to be staged in Kazan, Russia, while the 2013 edition was in Barcelona, Spain.
Budapest had been scheduled to host the 2021 championships, but a new bidding process will be open for that event, FINA said in a statement.
