Der skulle oprindeligt være afholdt veteran-VM i Bordeaux i Frankrig fra 8.- 14. juni 2020. I første omgang blev mesterskaberne udsat til afholdelse 26/4-2/5-2021, men nu har arrangørerne besluttet helt at aflyse arrangementet – igen pga. corona-pandemien.
De 4.600 tilmeldte har her til morgen fået en mail med ordlyden:
“It is with a lot of sorrow that we announce the final cancellation of WVC2020 which was meant to take place in April 2021. We must sadly accept that the health crisis linked to Covid 19 might still be running on the rescheduled date of WVC2020 in 2021.
Facing this circumstance, we gathered the main WVC2020’s stakeholders and assessed all together risks management. They unanimously highly recommend to cancel the event. Health of players, accompanying persons, referees, volunteers and all stakeholders being our top priority.
Be aware that our team remains mobilized so that each and every one can receive a full refund of all expenses incurred (players and accompanying persons registration, hotel booking and tourist excursions made through the organisors). You will soon receive an email specifying the refund procedure.
We share your disappointment and hope that our paths may cross in future World Veterans Championships organizations. Until then, please stay healthy.
The WVC2020’s team”
