The Cities/National Federations of Dubai (UAE), Hamburg (GER) and Moscow (RUS) are the formal bidders for the organisation of the 15th FINA World Championships, to be held in July 2013.
FINA will decide on the organiser of these Championships at its Bureau Meeting to be held on July 18, 2009, in conjunction with the 13th FINA World Championships in Rome (ITA).
Until then, FINA will provide all the necessary assistance to the three final bidders for the preparation of their candidature, including an inspection visit to each of the three cities.
After Rome 2009 and before 2013, the 14th FINA World Championships will take place in Shanghai (CHN) from July 16-31, 2011.
