Although the presidential elections will be held between 15 March and 15 June of this year, the club's statutes regulate that the new president will in any case only take office on 1 July, with the first and the fifth paragraph of article 50 of the statutes, entitled 'Taking office and communications' stating:
"If the election process has been the consequence of the natural termination of the term in office of the previous Board of Directors, the newly elected Board must take office on the date of July 1 after the elections and the members remaining from the previous Board will immediately vacate their positions. [...]
The new Board will take office at an extraordinary session of the Board of Directors, which will be attended by the outgoing Board [...] and the newly elected Board, and which may also be attended in the capacity of witnesses, by representatives of Governments, Administrations, Federations or Associations."
