Al-Shehri expressed happiness over the prominent presence of the Saudi karate team in all competitions.

“Though it was the first participation for the women’s team at the international level, the team managed to achieve bronze medal. This is considered as a promising future for the team,” he said, while calling for exerting more efforts to score great achievements in future participations..

Al-Shehri also thanked the players and members of the technical and administrative staff as well as their families for the remarkable achievement.
