The Asian football confederation has revealed that Boxing and women’s football qualifying for the 2020 Olympics will be moved from the Chinese city at the centre of a virus outbreak to another location in the country, the organising bodies said on Wednesday.
Wuhan was supposed to host China, Taiwan, Thailand and Australia for the Group B Asian women’s football qualifiers February 3-9 and the Asia/Oceania boxing tournament from February 3-14.
The Asian Football Confederation said in a statement its tournament will be held on the same dates in the eastern city of Nanjing.
It said the change was proposed by the Chinese Football Association.
The International Olympic Committee Boxing Task Force said that the local organising committee had cancelled its event “amid growing concerns in relation to the coronavirus outbreak reported in the city”.
They said that the various sports bodies involved would “explore alternatives”.
