The International Committee for the Mediterranean Games unanimously agreed to postpone for one year (June 2018) the Tarragona Games, originally scheduled to be held from 30 June to 9 July 2017.
The decision was taken following the request made by the Spanish Olympic Committee and by the Organizing Committee Tarragona 2017 (OCMGT) to the members of the ICMG Executive Committee, at a meeting held in Oran on 4 November. The Mediterranean Games are organised every four years, for some 3000 athletes belonging to the 24 countries located on the shores the Mediterranean.
