DITC AND AFRICAN
ATHLETICS CONFEDERATION CO-HOSTING

TUNIS, SEPTEMBER 1-4, 2005
ATLANTA - PARIS -
TUNIS – On the heels of two successful Editions (2004 and
2004) of the DeKalb International Prep Classic where US and
international Junior records were set, Atlanta’s DITC is now
embarking on another kind of Junior Championships, this time
at the continental level with TUNIS 2005.
General Younès Chetali, President of the Tunisian Athletics
Federation and VP of the Tunisian Olympic Committee, and
President of the TUNIS 2005 Organizing Committee is
expecting 500 athletes representing most of the 53 African
countries’ Athletic Federations.
During TUNIS 2005, the DITC will also organize a Track &
Field workshop to present the DITC, its athletics programs
and training facilities, as well as the educational
opportunities for Junior African athletes to come train and
study in Atlanta.
“In 2003 the AAC and DITC signed an cooperative agreement,
this is excellent opportunity for AAC to work with our
friends in Atlanta at the DITC on quality championships
where the future African Olympians will be competing,” said
General Younès Chetali. “We hope that HSH Prince Albert II
of Monaco whom we invited, will find time in his busy
schedule to briefly attend Tunis 2005.”
