World Taekwondo pays respect to Gen. Ahmed Fouly

Gen. Fouly made a huge contribution to the development of taekwondo in Africa and around the world during his decorated career. His warmth and passion for the sport will be greatly missed but his legacy will live on for generations.

World Taekwondo’s thoughts remain with his family at this difficult time.
