Executive Approves EGY bid to host the 2021 Africans

The IODA Executive Committee has approved the bid from EGY to host the 2021 African Championship.  Unfortunately, TAN withdrew as the host a few months ago due to COVID 19.

The 2021 African Championship will now take place at the Montazah Water Sports, in Alexandria, Egypt from September 3 to 10^th.

This Championship has been hosted 3 times at the same venue, the last in 2017, whereby 49 sailors from 10 countries from Africa and the region took part.

The event is in the capable hands of Abdelhamid Morsi, who was the Chair of the Organizing Committee at the 2017 Championship and who is back in the same role in 2021. He has the experience and commitment to ensure that the event will be a success.

Due to the late approval of the venue, the Event Microsite and NOR are currently being worked on by the Regatta Committee.

Keep an eye on the IODA Website, Facebook and/or Instagram for any news or announcements.

Looking forward to seeing our Optimist sailors in Alexandria, EGY in September!
