Two-time British Olympic champion middle distance runner Sebastian Coe has praised the work of the volunteers to be present at the 2023 IAAF World Athletics Championships to be held in Budapest from 19 to 27 August.

As the 2023 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Budapest is approaching, it is important not only for the athletes but also for the volunteers involved in the event to prepare themselves physically and mentally for the competition.

Hungarian athletes can now compete at the National Athletics Centre that will host the national championships on 7 and 8 July. More than 300 volunteers trained by HUSS will do their best to make the test event a success.

The Family Opening Day of the National Athletics Centre and the Recreation Park was held on 17 June, opening the gates of Budapest's new athletics stadium to the public.
