Equipment of various services are already in a container, which will soon leave for Cuba, thanks to the initiative launched two years ago by the Cuba Coopération France (CubaCoop) association to support the preparation and acclimatization of Cuban athletes, who will compete this summer in the Olympic and Paralympic events.
These are means in very good conditions that the commune of the Paris Region replaced in its fitness room, in which Cuban athletes of disciplines such as boxing have trained.
CubaCoop’s president, Victor Fernandez, acknowledged the solidarity and commitment of Tremblay-en-France, one of the first cities to join the project, which involves some twenty cities with authorities of various political colors.
The initiative to support Cuba on its way to Paris-2024, Olympic Games that will start on July 26, includes the stay on French soil of athletes in training bases and before the start of the event under the five rings, and actions to improve the conditions of preparation in Cuba.
