On 14 May 2024, the World Aquatics Executive met to discuss the recent incidents surrounding the Tunisian Swimming Federation, which do not comply with World Aquatics’ good governance standards.
In line with World Aquatics’ commitment to athlete protection, the Executive, supported by the Bureau, will immediately establish a Stabilization Committee.
The Stabilization Committee will run all day-to-day operations of the Tunisian Swimming Federation, conduct the proper and necessary amendments to the national federation’s Constitution, and organise and conduct a new election within six months.
Activated in the best interests of all Tunisian athletes, the Stabilization Committee will ensure that the Tunisian Swimming Federation adheres to the highest standards of good governance and transparency.
Mr. Mohamed Zribi will chair the Committee, and the point of contact will be Ms. Maha Zaoui.
The Stabilization Committee’s engagement is effective immediately.
