For the events taking place on Wednesday 4 October the following schedule has been established:
The exceptional circumstances mean that the logistics and availability of the new courts are being finalised therefore, details regarding the schedule for the remainder of the competition will be communicated separately tomorrow.
IWBF Secretary General, Norbert Kucera, emphasised:
"First and foremost we are extremely grateful and lucky that no one was seriously injured in the accident at the venue today. The safety and well-being of our participants, officials, volunteers, and spectators remain our paramount concern. Although this relocation poses challenges, we are unwavering in our commitment to ensuring a successful and safe event for everyone involved. We are grateful for your understanding and flexibility during this time and eagerly anticipate an exciting and resilient competition in our new venue."
Kucera also expressed his immense gratitude to the Thai Local Organizing Committee and Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) for their swift response and effective action in relocating the event and finding a solution that has allowed the Championship to continue as planned.
