FITEQ say the candidacies of Lee, Jayasinghe, Adzekwei, Gwesela and Tapiwa are provisional.

Their candidacies will be made official should if certain documents and-or amending certain statements are provided by a supplementary deadline.

The deadline is December 3.

Portugal’s Rui Jorge Marques Leitão has been provisionally approved as a candidate for the athletes’ position.

FITEQ has nominated Cape Verde’s Filomena Fortes for the final Executive Board position.
