According to IRNA, “Seyed Mohammad Poladgar” said on Wednesday after the voting of the members of the board of directors and provincial boards in the meeting of the Electoral Assembly: After 21 years and the support of the Taekwondo family, the presidency was handed over to another person. During these years, despite the ups and downs, we tried to stay away from the margins with empathy.
He added: “International institutions praise the Taekwondo Federation and consider it one of the best.” The members of the Taekwondo family, because of their love for me, talk about stopping working with Taekwondo. Keep up the good work.
The former president of the Taekwondo Federation said in the end: “Many good things are on the way for Taekwondo and I wish success to Hadi Saei.”
“We appreciate the prudent efforts of the Olympic Committee and congratulate Saei, who was able to win the majority of votes,” said Kikaus Saeedi, Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee. We hope that with this choice, Taekwondo will achieve its goals.
Saei became the president of the Taekwondo Federation today with 29 votes in the presidential assembly. Poladgar also received 27 votes to leave the federation after 21 years of presidency.
