Today, an unexpected message from PAL president, Igor Mazurenko. The World Cup – we know the date and the place! It will take place in March 2022, a more precise date will be announced soon. And where? Dubai! According to Igor Mazurenko, it won’t be just a comeback but rather a New Beginning. The Cup will be accompanied by various exclusive attractions, including concerts. Dubai is a prestigious place. The Professional World Cup is getting on a different level. So far, the event has taken place in Poland, at first in the Tricity, then in Warsaw for a few editions, then again in the Tricity, recently in Rumia, a very hospital and welcoming city. But now, it’s all history!
World Cup 2022 – destination: Dubai!
There’s more! Igor also promises TWO more editions of Zloty Tur in 2022. The next one is to take place in Malaysia, specifically on Borneo.
So far, the World Cup didn’t take place only once, in 2014. In 2020 and 2021 it was held back by the pandemic.
Today – a New Beginning and a New Challenge!
