Dear FMN’s,

Due to the 42 day lockdown recently imposed in Uganda, which ends approx.. a week before the start of the 2021 MXOAN, the FIM Africa Council in consultation with the MX Working Group have agreed to postpone the event to a later date.

We hope that by postponing to a later date, it will not only assist the organisers with their planning, but that more importantly the “wave” they are currently experiencing would have passed.

A new date will be communicated to all FMN’s in due course.

Kind regards

MARCO COMANA
President – FIM AFRICA

Chers FMN,

En raison du confinement de 42 jours récemment imposé en Ouganda et qui se termine environ. une semaine avant le début du MXOAN 2021, le Conseil Africain de la FIM, en consultation avec le Groupe de travail MX, a convenu de reporter l’événement à une date ultérieure.

Nous espérons qu’en reportant à une date ultérieure, cela aidera non seulement les organisateurs dans leur planification, mais surtout que la « vague » qu’ils connaissent actuellement serait passée.

Une nouvelle date sera communiquée à tous les FMN en temps voulu.

Kind regards

MARCO COMANA
President – FIM AFRICA

FIM AFRICA is very saddened to hear of the slanderous rumours that are being spread in the motocross community on the continent, regarding the venue for the 2021 MXOAN.  It is important to note that due process will be followed, as has been done over the past 22 years, for any African Continental Championship. 

The FIM AFRICA council recently held a meeting with the FMU Organising committee and the dates for the track inspections have been confirmed. We are also pleased to advise that the track inspections will be conducted by the Sporting Director as well as Jack Cheney from South Africa, both of whom are very experienced officials. Once the track inspections have been conducted a final decision will be confirmed.

We request that the parties spreading these rumours, please refrain immediately!! This type of rumour-mongering only causes unhappiness and uncertainty for the FIM AFRICA members. Until further notice, the 2021 MXOAN will be held in Uganda and organised by the recognized Motorcycle Federation (FMU).

For any further queries, please contact the FIM AFRICA Secretariat – fimafrica@fim-africa.com.
