The CWF is supported by the Cyprus Tourism Board, the Cyprus Olympic Association, and the Cyprus Government. Discounting WMG, to my knowledge this will be the first ever IWF Masters World Championship organised by a National Weightlifting Federation, I think this is an honour.
All countries will be expected to book their hotel accommodation through the CWF and this will be in hotels ranging from 1 star to 5 stars, many on the beach. It will also include a nominal fee for transport from and to the airport and for access to the shuttle bus which will be every hour from the hotels to the venue. It will not be possible to organise this service for anyone who does not book accommodation through the CWF. (Cyprus organized the 2007 European Masters Championship successfully, but at that Championship 12 people left without paying their hotel bills and this cost of €10,000 fell upon the CWF!!)
The championship dates will be confirmed as soon as possible but will be at the end of October. The weather will still be warm and sunny.
The CWF has organised many successful International Weightlifting Championships in the short period since 2007 and including the 2010 European Junior & Under 23 Championship in November. The stage and warm up facilities will be arranged the same as it was for that championship for the EWF.
The weights and the electronic equipment will be Eleiko.
The venue is first class and will be booked to enable training (and the shuttle bus service) to start on the Thursday before the start of the championship.
- The legal points of entry into the Republic of Cyprus are the airports of Larnaca and Paphos and the port of Limassol, which is situated in the area under the effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus.

Entry into the territory of the Republic of Cyprus via any other airport or port in which the Government of the Republic does not exercise effective control (Turkish occupied areas) is illegal.

The IWF Masters annual affiliation fee must now be paid with all the entry fees and will appear on the entry form on the fees page.
