Azerbaijan chess team opts out of World Youth Championship in Brazil due to travel concerns

The Azerbaijani chess players have opted out of participating in the World Youth Chess Championships 2024 held in Florianopolis, Brazil.

The decision considered the long travel distance and potential acclimatization challenges for young players, as reported by Idman.biz.

Instead, Azerbaijan plans to focus on the upcoming European Championship next year, aiming to prioritize preparation for that event.

The World Championship in Brazil will proceed using the 11-round Swiss system, bringing together talented young players from around the world.
