INFORMATION FLASH ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE 10th 2024 CONGRESS IN HOUSTON TEXAS-USA

The Vovinam-VVD Texas Federation, has just informed the World Federation of its decision to stop the organization of the 10th World Congress in Houston Texas in July 2024, for internal reasons. 

We are sorry that this cancellation has caused great disappointment and much financial prejudice for participants who had already purchased their airline tickets.

In order to resolve this problem, and after contacting a number of member countries, the World Federation has obtained the following list (in alphabetical order of the French language) of potential candidates: 

• Germany, Belarus and Russia (co-organizers), France, Morocco, Senegal 

For the organization of the 10th Congress: 3 days of activities around September, early October 2024. 

Following a feasibility study by the candidate countries, and a review of the applications, we will keep you informed on this subject.
