Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and in implementation of the precautionary measures, as well as travel restrictions resulting from the health crisis do not allow us to hold the FINA general Congress in completely conventional way. In accordance with this ordinance and to guarantee application of constitutional rights and duties of each National Federation, the FINA Bureau decided to hold the Congress in a format of hybrid event allowing the members to attend the Congress either being physically present in Doha or connected virtually in real time. For the process of elections and voting, a web-based electronic system was used. 

The Congress was hosted at Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel and organised with the support of the Qatar Swimming Federation and Qatar National Olympic Committee.
