I think we are going to beat by far the numbers of the best World Championships held so far. Ibiza and Spain are going to beat records. It will also be the Championships of “experiences” because competitions will be held in iconic places and we will be offering a varied and attractive agenda. Thus, we will have the best World Championships ever”, concluded Hidalgo.

It will be something that will remain in everyone’s memory for many years to come,“said Salvador Losa, Ibiza’s Sports Councillor.
