Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, April 21, 2021: FINA has unveiled the official logo of the 15th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) due to take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, this December.
The logo, which symbolises the past and present, is inspired by Abu Dhabi’s pearl-diving heritage. It features a swimmer constructed from pearls who is powering through the water and is representative of both the city’s proud history and the competitive nature of the short-course world championships.
Made up of 46 different events, the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) will be held at the state-of-the-art Etihad Arena – the UAE’s largest multi-purpose indoor entertainment venue, which opened in 2020 and is located on Yas Island. The FINA World Aquatics Convention will also be hosted in the same arena, promising an Aquatic Festival in Abu Dhabi.
Taking place from Thursday, December 16 to Tuesday, December 21, 2021, the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) will showcase the best swimmers on the planet, providing both local and international fans with the opportunity to watch top-quality competitive swimming action in the heart of Abu Dhabi.
Originally scheduled for 2020, the event had to be moved to December 2021 because of COVID-19.
Qualifying events will take place in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania over the coming months, giving short-course swimmers around the world a chance to secure their spot at the Abu Dhabi competition.
