2023 and 2024 World and European Rowing Events in Sabaudia to be reallocated

World Rowing is disappointed to announce that the following World Rowing and European Rowing events, which had been attributed to Sabaudia, Italy, will no longer take place in Sabaudia, Italy due to recent unforeseen political changes.

• 2023 World Rowing Coastal Championships & Beach Sprint Finals
• 2024 European Rowing Championships

The new Mayor of Sabaudia refuses to abide by the contractual obligations provided in the contracts validly executed in 2019 and 2020 and unilaterally decided to dissolve the Organising Committee in charge of the hosting of these events. World Rowing is currently considering all appropriate legal remedies against the Organisers of these events.

The above-mentioned Championships will have to take place in other venues. World Rowing has invited its Member Federations to provide their expressions of interest in hosting the above-mentioned events by 30 September 2022.
