TAEKWONDO YOUNGSTERS HEAD TO TURKEY

Jordan’s Taekwondo youth team is in Turkey for their Open Taekwondo Championship that will be held from February 10-14.

The event is a crucial part of the Kingdom’s hopes of getting fighters to the Youth Olympic Games this summer, with Lu'ai Nazal, Zeid Mustafa, Rama Abu Al Rub, Natali Al Humaidi and Aysheh Al Saddeh all bidding for glory this week.

The team will be managed by Head Coach, Faris Al Assaf, and Coach, Nabeel Talal, with physiotherapist Lu'ai Marayat providing medical support.

More than 2,000 fighters will be competing in Turkey, the last major competition before the Youth Olympic qualifiers in Tunisia in April.
