FINA has today announced that the 19th FINA World Masters Championships 2022 in Kyushu, Japan, have been rescheduled for 2-11 August 2023.  

The 19th FINA World Masters Championships 2022 were initially scheduled for 31 May – 9 June 2022 in the Japanese cities of Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima. However, following the postponement of the 19th FINA World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, to 14-30 July 2023, all parties have agreed to reschedule the competition to 2-11 August 2023 to ensure a safe and secure event.

“The decision to reschedule the 19th FINA World Masters Championships 2022 has been jointly taken with the Fukuoka 2022 Organising Committee and relevant parties,” FINA President Husain Al-Musallam said. “Following the postponement of the 19th FINA World Championships 2022 Fukuoka, we believe that this is the best solution for the athletes, officials, fans, and everyone involved. Hosting the 19th FINA World Masters Championships 2022 across the three beautiful cities of Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima will provide a fantastic opportunity to inspire the next generation of aquatics stars in Japan and around the world.”

The FINA World Masters Championships 2022 Kyushu will welcome approximately 10,000 athletes from more than 100 countries.
