Where:
Timisoara, Sodexo Canteen within City Business Centre .
Coriolan Brediceanu street, no. 10 C (near the "700 Market").
Four minutes away from Victoria Square, five minutes from Unirii Square, three minutes from Lenau High School Hostel.
The venue provides a good division of the playing area so that the small kyu juniors transit route does not intersect with the upper Dan tables. Also, the space benefits from an air conditioning system that will be functional during the competition.
The City Business Center Timisoara building complex is a semi-enclosed architectural system that allows children to get out, in front of the building, without being exposed to car traffic. Also, the smokers outdoor location is spacious and elegant.
Over the weekend, the staff of the business housed in this building is free, so the indoor public areas will not be crowded.
