SINGAPORE: Most of the 2025 World Aquatics Championships will be held within Singapore’s Kallang precinct to “achieve logistics and operations efficiencies”, organisers said on Monday ( Jul 22 ).
After rumors that some events may take place in momentary pools in a shopping center car park, they responded to inquiries from CNA.
Unknown options who claimed the budget for the finals had been underestimated were even quoted in a subsequent media statement. In its comment on Monday, organizers did not address relevant questions on expenses and funding sources.
After moving from its initial Russian location in response to the conquest of Ukraine, the multi-discipline World Aquatics Championships will take place in Singapore from July 11 to August 3rd of this year.
In addition to swimming and artistic swimming events taking place in momentary lakes in the Leisure Park Kallang store, Singapore organisers announced earlier in July that water polo and jumping competitions may be held at the Sports Hub’s OCBC Aquatic Centre. Sentosa island would also host large jumping and open-water swimming.
According to Mr. Alan Goh, who co-chairs the organising committee and is also the CEO of Sport Singapore, having the majority of the activities held in the Kallang neighborhood will render it “more suitable for players to walk between the various competitors and teaching venues.”
” Fans can easily access various competitors activities in one place, too,” he continued.
According to Mr. Goh, venues were selected after a thorough evaluation and evaluation of the World Aquatics organization, taking into account specialized specifications, function scheduling, and spectator seating requirements.  ,
On the momentary lakes, Mr Goh described them as a “purpose-built location which you meet the requirements of the finals”.  ,
” It will building a opposition pool, a warm-up pool, ample spectator chairs, and dedicated sections for community occasions”, he added.
According to the organization, we conducted a cost-benefit evaluation and also made references to the strategy of previous World Aquatics Championships held in Hungary, Japan, and most recently in Doha, where the individual local organizing team constructed between two and six temporary lakes.
We are looking into ways to expand the use of this arena, including using it as a training or competition location for regional and local meets both before and after the championships. ”  ,
