The IWAS Powerchair Hockey Sport Executive Committee are delighted to announce receipt of two bids from the Czech Republic and Italy for the World Championships in 2018.

The bids submitted by the nations are said to be ‘extremely promising’ following preliminary evaluations.

In the coming months, the IWAS Powerchair Hockey Sport Executive Committee will conduct site visits in the proposed host cities to explore the venues and team accommodation where the focus will be on the viability and suitability of the proposed facilities.

The Sport Executive Committee look forward to meeting with the Local Organising Committees of both nations to gain a better understanding of their visions for the World Championships 2018.
