World Aquatics has officially broken ground on its new home.
The organization announced on Tuesday that construction has started on a nearly 20,000 square-meter facility in Budapest that is expected to be done around the summer of 2028.
The organization is moving its headquarters from Lausanne, Switzerland. World Aquatics first established its base in Lausanne in 1986 , before briefly relocating to Barcelona, Spain in 1989.
World Aquatics then returned its headquarters to Lausanne after the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
The relocation agreement between World Aquatics and Hungary was signed in 2023.
“The goal is to create a timeless, multifunctional complex that reflects both the spirit of the Hungarian nation and World Aquatics – blending tradition and innovation, past and present, in the service of a sustainable future,” World Aquatics said in a release.
The facility will include a global training center and athlete accommodations in addition to serving as the organization’s headquarters.
World Aquatics governs swimming, water polo, diving, artistic swimming, and open water swimming throughout the world.
World Aquatics has a rich history in Hungary, with Budapest hosting the 2017 and 2022 World Aquatics Championships and the Short Course World Championships in 2024.
Budapest is also slated to host the 2027 World Aquatics Championships (LCM) in 2027.
“Budapest has already hosted numerous prestigious aquatic events, but with this development, the city will become the everyday administrative and decision-making centre of aquatic sports,” World Aquatics said. “This will open new opportunities for Hungarian sport, increase international attention on the country, and generate long-term economic, tourism and professional synergies in the decades ahead.”
