Olympic Notes: Tokyo 2020 Announces Partnership With Nippon Foundation

The Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee signed a partnership agreement with the Nippon Foundation, a private non-profit humanitarian organization supporting activities in the social welfare, public health and educational fields. The agreement will allow Tokyo 2020 to leverage the Nippon Foundation’s experience of managing volunteers when developing selected training programs for the Games (Tokyo 2020). 

The IOC said on Thursday that it "hoped the diplomatic and economic boycott of Qatar by its Gulf neighbors would not affect sports development in the region." Qatar is "among the leading investors in world sport," preparing to host the 2022 World Cup and the '19 World Athletics Championships "among the other top events it is set to stage in the coming years" (REUTERS, 6/15).
