Change of dates for World Cup in New Caledonia
Since one of the two buildings of the new Oceania Institute will not be completed in time for the Opening Ceremony, the local Organising Committee and the IWF decided to postpone the World Cup from January to 3-7 May 2009. The IWF World Cup in Noumea, New Caledonia’s capital will be held in combination with the 1st Francophone International Tournament.
