AIBA YOUTH WORLD BOXING CHAMPIONSHIPS YEREVAN 2012 SITE VISIT CONTINUES
After the successful two-day visit to the capital city of Armenia to
oversee developments as Yerevan prepares itself to host the much
anticipated AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships from 25 November to
8 December, the team of delegates from the International Boxing
Association (AIBA) are now ironing out the finer details before
completing the tour of all the facilities.
Wednesday saw further meetings with the Minister of Sport and Youth
Affairs where the main points discussed were the accommodation
arrangements and the various hotels at disposal. The Local Organising
Committee (LOC) also outlined their promotion strategy as well as
elaborating on the sponsors for the event. The visiting delegates were
then introduced to the Competition Manager, Mr David Tadevosyan,
before detailing the accreditation system that will be implemented for
the event.
There were further meetings with the Armenian Federation Staff and
Armenian Olympic Committee Staff as the event logo was revealed. The
LOC then explained the visa policy where all participants can get
their visa upon arrival at Yerevan Airport.
For the event, plans were outlined for a welcome dinner and receptions
to be hosted on 28 November after the opening ceremony. The Opening
ceremony itself will be organised from 6pm to 7pm with final
arrangements to be confirmed at a later stage. TV production is to be
reviewed with live broadcasting scheduled for the semi-finals and
finals.
The visit continued with further tours of potential training venues
before the evening ended with a traditional dinner with customary live
Armenian music. The final details of the visit will be reviewed with
the final reports and all information to be sent out to all National
Federations shortly.
