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.”
