ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Dear sport friends,



It is with great joy and pride that I invite you to Poland, to the city of Poznań, for the ICF Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe World Championships! It is a true honour for us that the capital of the Greater Poland region once again becomes a meeting place for the world’s best athletes – Olympic champions, medalists, and emerging talents who inspire future generations through their passion and dedication.

The Malta Regatta Course, located in the heart of the city, has a long and proud history of hosting unforgettable competitions. We are delighted to once again welcome the international canoeing family to this special place that combines top-level sport with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the International Canoe Federation (ICF)for the trust and confidence placed in us by awarding the organization of this prestigious event to Poland. It is both an honour and a motivation to deliver a competition that meets the highest sporting and organizational standards. I wish all teams and athletes fruitful preparations, productive training sessions, and smooth final arrangements before the competition.

May your road to Poznań be filled with determination, focus, and anticipation for great racing days ahead.

See you soon at Lake Malta!

Grzegorz Kotowicz

President of The Polish Canoe Federation
