Amman, Sept. 6 (Petra) — Women’s Kickboxing Championship concluded
Saturday with 120 athletes from 20 clubs and training centers
competing in 92 bouts, underscoring growing female participation in
the sport across the Kingdom.
Organized by the Jordan Kickboxing Federation, the championship
registered 133 entries across three disciplines, point fighting, kick
light and light contact, and featured competition across all
recognized age categories, from young athletes to juniors, youth and
senior women.
The broad range of age groups provided younger competitors with an
opportunity to test their skills in a competitive setting while
allowing more experienced athletes to showcase their abilities.
Women also took center stage in officiating, with an all-female
refereeing team overseeing the bouts throughout the championship,
reflecting their expanding role in the technical side of the sport.
The federation said the championship forms part of its efforts to
expand women’s participation in kickboxing and develop a new
generation of female athletes, referees and coaches capable of
representing Jordan at local, Arab and international competitions.
