Madagascar replaces Maldives as host of 2023 Indian Ocean Island Games.
Madagascar has replaced the Maldives as the host of the 2023 Indian Ocean Island Games due to concerns over the current pandemic. The event had been awarded to the Maldives last year, but members of the Indian Ocean Island Games Federation voted to move the Games to Madagascar.
The decision came as a result of the challenges the Maldives is facing in organizing the event during the coronavirus crisis. The Maldives had requested pushing back the 2023 Games to 2025 but the IOIGF was keen to avoid a six-year void between editions of the multi-sport event.
