MISSION TAEKWONDO INTERNATERNATIONAL ORGANIZES TAEKWONDO TEAM CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS

 By Ebenezer Zor
Mission Taekwondo International hosts the first ever Taekwondo Team Cup Championships in West Africa and the second in Africa on the 23rd of March 2013 at the Sports Hall of the Accra Sports Stadium from 8.00am. This is an all play all [ 5 on 5 ] module newly introduced.

In a statement issued by the Ag Secretary-General Patrick Johnson, “Plans are far advanced and a total of 16 teams including teams from Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Cote d’voire are preparing determinedly for this all important debut. Seasoned International referees from Togo and Nigeria have been invited to assist.

This event promises to be very competitive and deserving teams would be awarded trophies, medals and certificates and that same vein the Ghana Taekwondo Association would also take the opportunity to outdoor the newly acquired state of the art electronic scoring system.

 The event follows the experience from the 1st ‘World Taekwondo Federation’ sponsored Team Cup championships held in Madagascar, November 2012, where the president of Mission Taekwondo International, Frederick Otu lartey officiated in the first match of the event, the motivation to organize the same in Ghana was conceived

Again it would be a platform for practitioners and officials in Ghana and around West Africa to have a first time feel of the new form as a two day seminar for officiating officials on the rules of the game would be organized by Frederick .O. lartey, founder and President of the Foundation.”
