The award was given to the
academy by the
International Chess Federation for 2020/2021.
"I do not forget the great
credit of the late Prince Mohammed bin Talal, may God have mercy upon him, for
his support to establish the academy which met with his ambitions to spread and
improve the game in our beloved country” Saffarini said.
He added: “This achievement is
part of series of achievements in Jordanian chess, as a result of institutional
work and the team work and spirit of the Royal Jordanian Chess Federation,
chaired by Nawaf Ershidat, who believed that the academy would not have
witnessed success without the support of the Jordan Olympics Committee.”
The academy contributed to the
development of the game, players, and coaches at the local, regional, and
global level. It also organizes various community events for students.
