Former World Taekwondo Vice President Gen. Ahmed Fouly posthumously awarded Cheongryong Medal by Korean government 04/30/21
Gen. Ahmed Fouly was today posthumously awarded the Cheongryong Medal, the highest Order of Sport Merit from the Korean government, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the national propagation and development of Taekwondo.
The late Gen. Fouly was recommended by World Taekwondo for the award given his exceptional work in promoting and developing Taekwondo in Africa.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the family of Gen. Fouly could not travel to Korea to receive the award on his behalf and so the medal was delivered to His Excellency the Ambassador of Egypt to Korea, Hazem Mostafa Ibrahim Fahmy. The award was presented by the Korean Minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr. Hwang Hee in the presence of World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue.
