On Monday 31st January 2022 an ISF Delegation arrived in Normandy to conduct an inspection visit in cooperation with the Local Organising Committee of ISF member the ‘Union Nationale du Sport Scolaire’ (UNSS), as all preparations continue to rapidly advance. Taking place throughout the entire week, the visit presents the opportunity for a number of meetings and site visits to be held with the purpose of discussing all sport specific preparations required for each of the 20 sport competitions. This will include visits to each of the 9 host cities of Caen, Deauville, Écouves, Granville, Le Havre, Montivilliers, Pont-Audemer, Rouen, and Val-de-Reuil.

In addition to these events, the sport programme will see Badminton, Beach Volleyball, as well as some Orienteering activities also take place around the city of Deauville.
