Colonel Okou upbeat as Iranian coaches arrive in Tanzania to train wrestlers

Posted : 28 January 2025

The African representative at the International Military Sports Council (CISM) Wrestling Sports Committee, Lieutenant Colonel Timipre Okou, has expressed joy over the arrival of Iranian coaches who will train wrestlers, coaches, and others in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.


Lt. Colonel Okou thanked the Iranian government for their efforts in contributing to the development of wrestling in Africa by covering the coaches' allowances for the duration of their stay in Tanzania, as well as their return flight tickets.


Okou also specifically acknowledged the efforts of Colonel Naser Hassani, President of the CISM Wrestling Committee, in promoting and developing wrestling in Africa.


Lt. Colonel Okou, who also serves as an international wrestling referee, noted that the training will be closely monitored and supervised, as will other training centers within Africa, to further educate participants on the rules of wrestling. This follows the commitment of other countries to the CISM Wrestling Sports Committee's developmental plans for Africa.


In another development, the African representative, Colonel Okou, used this opportunity to advise members to align their programs with UWW-Africa for stronger collaboration.


Consequently, Lt. Colonel Okou calls on other African countries to join the CISM Wrestling Sports Committee's Continental Wrestling Development Plan for Africa.


Lieutenant Colonel Timipre Okou concluded by expressing his appreciation to the Tanzanian government for accepting the responsibility of developing wrestling in Tanzania.
