As we look to the future, World Aquatics will see all aquatics athletes united for the first time under one brand. The identity of our organisation now focuses on our shared vision: a world united by water, for health, life and sport,\u201d said World Aquatics President Husain Al-Musallam.<\/p>\n<p>The new World Aquatics brand will be rolled out at the first events in 2023, the federations digital assets have been refreshed and socials platforms have changed to @worldaquatics to reflect the change. a new website will also be rolled out in conjunction with the World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan next summer.<\/p>\n<p>For more information head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fina.org\/news\/2979029\/fina-becomes-world-aquatics-as-new-brand-launched\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Aquatics website.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"url}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Full Press Release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FINA becomes World Aquatics as new brand launched.
