The World Under-20 Championships preparations are in top gear, with the Local Organising Committee having finalized the process of securing bubble hotels for the global event.
According to the LOC, the hotels management has signed a contract where the World Athletics family will be the only ones hosted in the designated hotels during the championships period in August.
Over 120 member federation countries have confirmed their participation, with up to 1300 athletes expected to take part in the event.
World Under-20 LOC Chief Executive Officer Mike Rabar emphasized the importance of ensuring the athletes' safety during the championships, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“After we have been given a clean bill by the World Athletics, we are now in the process of securing hotels for the safety of athletes and all the officials who will be participating in the event,” Rabar said.
The LOC has chosen several hotels to host the athletes and officials, including Sarova Groups of hotels, Ole Sereni, Eka Hotel, The Boma, Sarova Panafric Hotel, Tamarind Hotel, and Crowne Plaza.
Other hotels have been designated to host specific groups, such as broadcasters, local technical officials, and accredited media personnel.
