Host selection

On 14 December 2010, FINA announced that Catania, Italy would host the 2014 Short Course Worlds.[3]

In November 2011, the Italian Swimming Federation (FIN) withdrew their support of Catania as host for the event, due to the Italian regional government's missing deadlines related to financial guarantees for the event.[4][5] FIN's withdraw of support for Catania made it unlikely that the event would stay in Italy.

On 4 April 2012, the FINA Bureau announced that Doha, Qatar would host the event.[6][7]
