The venue of the event is the same location as last year’s European Club Cup and this year’s strong Greek Chess League. Executive Board and commission meetings will be held at Athos Congress Center.

Chess stands
In a new and modern approach to the Congress as an important event, the Organizing committee is providing chess stands for the interested federations, chess organizations, companies, organizers, etc. Having an own business desk is a great opportunity to meet with delegates, councilors and visitors. The chess stands will allow direct contact and enable connections in the chess world.
Parallel chess programme
Parallel to the FIDE Congress, the organizers will host international rapid and blitz competitions. They will be 7 round Swiss systems and open to all players.
