Prince Feisal extended his congratulations on the qualification of five athletes so far for the upcoming Olympic Games: Juliana Sadiq, Rama Abu Rub, Zaid Mustafa, and Saleh Sharbati, representing taekwondo, alongside the national boxing team member, Obadah Kisbeh.

The prince emphasised the ongoing importance of advancing Jordanian sports, while extending his best wishes to all national team members in their quest to qualify for the Olympic Games.
