WMA Stadia Championships in Porto Alegre, Brazil have been changed with the new dates being 15 to 27 October 2013. The Opening ceremony will take place on the first date with competition commencing on 16 October.
The change of dates had been requested by the LOC after an announcement that the Government had agreed to fund a complete renewal of the athletics and community facility known as CETE. Government officials met with WMA President Perkins and Secretary Winston Thomas in November to detail their plans and at that time confirmed that the full cost of the project had been approved so that work could proceed.
Full details at the WMA site.
