Gabon's taekwondo federation has launched a training program to upgrade refereeing standards to meet international requirements. The initiative, held in Libreville, involved 30 referees who underwent instruction on the latest World Taekwondo rules and electronic scoring systems.
The training was led by international instructors and aimed to reduce officiating errors in national competitions. Participants received both theoretical and practical sessions, including simulations of match scenarios.
This effort aligns with the federation's goal to prepare athletes and officials for regional and international tournaments, such as the African Championships and Olympic qualifiers. The program is part of a broader strategy to develop taekwondo in Gabon.
