The Kingdom’s appearance at the Uzbekistan championship is among a series of technical programs slated by the
Jordan Fencing Federation to rehabilitate its athletes following a long interruption from major sporting events, due to the pandemic.
President of the Jordan Fencing Federation Khaled Al-Attiyat told
Jordan News: “The national team’s participation in this event falls under comprehensive technical programs put in place for our players to take part in official championships.”
Attiyat continued: “The extended absence from events, because of the pandemic, has taken a toll on the athletes. But we are now focusing on preparing players technically and physically, under direct supervision from the national team’s staff; as part of comprehensive programs.”
