The coronavirus epidemic is already having very concrete consequences on sport in China. At the request of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the qualifying matches for the Tokyo 2020 Games in women's football scheduled for Wuhan at the beginning of February have been relocated. They will take place in Nanjing, in the west of China. The Olympic qualifying tournament involves Australia, Thailand, China and Taiwan. Same effect in boxing, where the TQO which is to take place next month in Wuhan will also be relocated. He will remain in China, but in a different city, yet to be designated. The Japanese Boxing Federation explained to the agency Kyodo News that she was waiting for news from the IOC on the location of the competition. The calendar could also be changed.
