International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach will return to Guam this month for the XLV Oceania National Olympic Committee’s Annual General Assembly, according to the Guam National Olympic Committee, which is hosting the event.
Bach will be on Guam from May 15 to 17, according to GNOC’s Joey Miranda on Friday.
GNOC said Bach, who previously visited Guam in April 2019, will be attending the 2025 Oceania National Olympic Committee’s General Assembly ahead of his scheduled departure from office in June as his term comes to an end.
Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero will officially open the general assembly on May 17, said GNOC, which is working closely with local stakeholders to deliver the event.
In a release, GNOC said leading up to the assembly, a series of events and workshops will engage delegates and stakeholders:
- May 10-11 – Olympic Solidarity Finance Workshops, hosted by the IOC for member NOC secretary-generals and finance officers
