Event Notes: Lille To Host France-Switzerland Davis Cup Final In November

The Davis Cup final between France and Roger Federer's Switzerland "will be held at the 27,000-capacity Pierre Mauroy stadium in the northern French city of Lille." Inaugurated in '12, the stadium "has a retractable roof which will be closed throughout the Nov. 21-23 final." The surface for the final "will be announced by Monday" (AP, 9/19). ... I-League champions Bengaluru FC "will be travelling to China as they step up their pre-season training." The team, which will leave India on Wednesday, "will play three friendlies over the course of their two-week stay there" (DECCAN HERALD, 9/20). ... Int'l Paralympic Committee Athletics announced that the 2015 World Championships in Doha, Qatar, will now take place between Oct. 22-31, four weeks earlier than originally announced, in order to avoid infrastructure improvements planned in and around the city. Despite the date change, the 10-day event, which is expected to attract 1,300 athletes from 90 countries, will still be held at Doha’s 15,000 capacity Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium, home to the Qatar Sports Club (IPC).
