The ISSF Academy team continues its push for development across the world with important visits in the Gulf region, including meeting with the Asian Shooting Confederation (ASC) in Kuwait.

The talks focused on strengthening mutual cooperation between the parties and advancing the development of Olympic shooting sport through the ISSF Academy route, by holding coaching courses through a thorough pathway. They agreed to supporting athlete education, enhancing coaching programmes and working together on future joint initiatives. 

Also during their visit, the team held cooperation and development talks with the Saudi Shooting Federation, led by CEO Abdullah Al-Dossary. Creating quality programmes to train coaches, referees and those interested in the shooting sport sector was at the forefront of discussions.
