The chess ladies in Riga must already start after eight days on June 27th. LBS had previously reported that 201,000 euros were missing for the tournament, but the amount has now fallen to 196,000 euros.
"There is no big news." We discussed this issue at the board meeting, we decided to call an emergency council and decide how much to borrow. ", said Edgars Schnep, general secretary of the organization, to TVNET Wednesday after the board of LBS.
The Riga City Council, however, allocated 100,000 euros for the championship, but the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has already agreed to reduce individual applications, which has resulted in savings of less than the 68,000 previously announced. The information available on the LBS website shows that this saves 43,000 euros.
"Our championship will not be affected by the lack of a specific amount.Our team is also preparing, everything is in order.All contracts are concluded – with gaming sites, caterers, tenants.Bills arrive but some will not be paid because these 196 000 are missing, we will already agree when we pay, "explained Schneep.
The European Women's Basketball Championship will take place from 27 June to 7 July in Riga and three Serbian cities. Sixteen teams will compete for the title of champion and six tickets for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Qualification Tournament.
The most recent games in Latvia will be held in Riga on June 20th against the Chinese team and on June 22 against Slovenia.
