Fishermen and cyprinids look out The Carp fishing World Championship begins

 The XIV^th Edition of the Carp Fishing World Championship starts on the 27^th of September in Romania and takes place on Corbu Lake, Constanta County. At this event, organized by S.C. Rig Service S.A., will participate 21 delegations from all over the world. Therefore, among South Africa, will also compete Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, England, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, and Ukraine.

Corbu Lake, the host of this event was proposed and accepted last year by AGVPS Romania as contest venue for the Carp Fishing World Championship. It is the first time that this competition is hosted by Romania. Therefore, the organizer, S.C. Rig Service S.A., took all the necessary measures in order to meet the demands of FIPSed (International Carp fishing Federation in freshwaters).

75 contest stands were built in record time, but with sense of responsibility and diligence, all of them equipped with all the facilities necessary for such an important international competition, including bungalows with two beds and nightstands, where fishermen may rest in comfortable conditions during the competition. In addition, the organizers provided umbrellas, work tables, chairs, ecological toilets and showers, information panels, watch posts, patrol cars, handheld transmitters and receivers, laptops, printers, copiers, internet access, LCDs, all in all, everything they considered to be necessary in order to ensure the best conditions for such a high level sports event.

The inspection of the FIPSed delegation (International Carp fishing Federation in freshwaters) which was formed by Mr. Antonio Gigli, the FIPSed president delegate, and Mr. Guido Mazzarella, Italy’s team captain, double world champion, concluded that the competition venue on Corbu Lake fulfills all the international competition standards, and more than that, it is one of the best in the world!

This way, the future of all sport competitions on Corbu Lake venue is assured. There have already been proposals for the organization of international youth inter-clubs competitions, as well as other competitions, such as Rig Service Cups and Corbu Lake’s Cups. This way, the carp angling in Romania will be put into value, as favorite destination for all the world anglers, and along with that, all the other touristic objectives from the Romanian seaside and the Danube Delta.

We are looking forward to seeing you, dear competitors, fishing enthusiasts or just spectators, at the XIV^th edition of The Carp Fishing World Championship which will take place between September 27-30 and which will most certainly open the road for many fishing competitions in our country!
