Last squad training before departure to Sarajevo

On September 22nd in Jambes the team members of the Belgian team had a last squad training before the EC 2019 in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, under guidance of the national coaches.  Thanks to the sponsors, Mighty Fist and FROS, the material (doboks, track suits, safety-equipment, T-shirts) were distributed. There was also some time to take nice group pictures with the competitors, umpires, officials and coaches.

The team will leave to Sarajevo on October 8th. On October 9th the accreditation, weigh-in, coach meeting & umpire meeting are scheduled, the competition is starting a day later. So team members still have 2 weeks to prepare!

Keep updated through this website or on social media, and follow the team on the 2019 EC.

First ITF Board of Directors Meeting after the elections

On September 5th, 6th and 7th the newly elected ITF Board of Directors held its first meeting in Frankfurt, Germany. Although the last weeks a lot of work had already been done, and some decisions were made through digital channels, the list of items on the agenda was very long. Each day the meeting started at 9.00h and lasted until 20.00-20.30h.

However, the meeting was very constructive and passed in a very positive athmosphere. The future of the ITF and its members is looking bright for the upcoming 4 years.
