The event was a product of the landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between UWW, WT, and THF last October to promote humanitarian, peace, and social development through sport.
The joint-event goal was to deliver free wrestling and taekwondo training sessions to refugees at the existing Humanitarian Taekwondo Center.
All three organizations were represented by their most important men and women – WT President and THF Chairman Chungwon Choue, Olympic gold medallists and THF/WT Ambassadors, Wu Jingyu and Ahmed Abu Ghaush; UWW Development Director Deqa Niamkey and Olympic medallists and UWW Ambassadors, Arsen Julfalakyan and Clarissa Chun.
