“First of all I must clarify that the CMAS headquarters can provide to governments, federations of underwater activities or to private companies. The CMAS received a proposal from the Governor of Huila and San Andres, for World Games 2011 and made a decision to give this venue, a decision which cost us a year to take in late July and early August, at this point I have no proposal from Colombia and other countries were interested in these games but the board decided to give the seat Neiva and San Andres, this is the only decision we have, “Nyiri said.

As for the decision of the Colombian Federation of Underwater Activities Medellin headquarters to deliver “must contact the governorate of Huila and St. Andrew to finalize the development of the headquarters and at the moment we have no information decisions of the Colombian Federation. But we must clarify that the Federation has no chance of a change of venue to another city, “said Vice President of the CMAS.

This being the headquarters and was given to governments of Huila and San Andres decision of the board, “to take an example four years ago met the World Games in Bari and were endorsed by the Governing Board of the CMAS and the Italian Federation had nothing to do in organizing the fair. Even the government of Bari was able to handle the event, “Nyiri also confirmed his visit on 27 September to” get to Colombia next week to give a press conference and make greater clarity about the world headquarters, but I am very illusion that games can be made in Neiva, 2011, “he said.

This decision was taken unanimously by ten leagues of the country in a special meeting not attended by the League of Huila, “what is in this situation, should I contact to Mr. Ivan Niyiri to know what steps to take before this decision has been presented, one that I am the president of the Federation and well before I enlighten the CMAS, for me it is very unpleasant situation in the granting of an event, try to communicate with him by mail for him and give me my illustrious his opinion on the issue, “he concluded.
At this special meeting did not attend the delegate of the FedEx, Fabio Delgado, who attended the official handover of the global event in Spanish territory, “is a negotiation that takes the Huila and its governor, besides Mr. Luis Valenzuela Vice President Ivan Nyiri the CMAS, but do not know what has made the determination that the Assembly here, do not understand, I arrived on time and did not know, I will talk to the president for all the details, “said Delgado.

“I will request that the Federation is under investigation”
For its part, the director of Inder Huila Éduer Luis Valenzuela, the Colombian Federation considers that claimed a power that has neither by statute nor by authority of the CMAS, bypassing international procedures, “so the federation wants to meddle in these respects, not be able to do because the autonomy from the World Games, only has the CMAS, we are organizing a global game in which there are commitments and each governor has set his department has no procedure met Medellin, which was to postulate the seat in the month of January last year, a report in April, the review of scenarios and did Dr. Nyiri, plus ratification by the executive committee, “said Valenzuela.
