Lausanne, 24 January 2020
The IOC Boxing Task Force (BTF) announced today that the Asian / Oceanian Tokyo 2020 boxing qualifying event will be held in Jordan. Competitions will take place at the Sport City in Amman, from 3-11 March 2020
The event, originally planned to take place in Wuhan (CHN) from 3-14 February 2020, was rescheduled after yesterday’s joint decision of the BTF and the Olympic Chinese Committee (COC) to cancel the competition due to the developments of the coronavirus outbreak reported in the Chinese city.
After a careful review of all alternatives, the BTF approved the proposal of the National Olympic Committee of Jordan (JOC) today, in order to confirm the competition dates and location as soon as possible, in the best interest of athletes preparing for the qualifier.
Logistical and operational details will be shared with National Olympic Committees, National Federations and officials in the coming days.
The BTF would like to thank all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) that offered their support to re-organize the competition on such short notice.
