An international boccia tournament will start the next wave of Rio 2016 test events this week, Rio 2016 organisers have said.
The event will feature 22 para-athletes from Brazil, Britain, Portugal, Russia and Israel. It will run from November 12 to 14 at the Riocentro Pavilion 4 in Rio de Janeiro's west, reports Xinhua.
"Rio 2016 will use the event to assess various operations, with a special focus on the transport of athletes," the official Rio 2016 website said on Tuesday.
"Arrivals and departures services - featuring airport and hotel transfers - will be closely analysed, as will anti-doping operations, volunteer activities and the playing surface.
The Rio 2016 accessibility team will play a key role in the event, the organisers added.
