The Aspire Academy signed a cooperation agreement with the Qatar Fencing Federation (QFF) yesterday aimed at spreading interest in the game in Qatar and bringing up a new generation of global players who will be able to compete across all the GCC, Arab and Asian competitions ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The agreement was signed by Aspire Academy director general Ivan Bravo and QFF president Saleh al-Hamidi.
Under the agreement, the Aspire Academy will prepare and develop players at both academic and technical levels within the National Fencing Programme, which is divided into three stages: exploring Qatari talent, sponsoring them and supporting players during the competitions to achieve global levels. For its part, QFF will be responsible for organising players’ participation in all local, regional and global events.
Aspire Academy was founded in 2004 with a goal to find and develop the best young male Qatari athletes, whilst also providing them with high quality secondary school education.
