The Nigeria Taekwondo Federation has commended the Nigerian Navy team that took part in the just concluded Korean Ambassador Cup in Abuja.

The NTF, organisers of the Korean Ambassadors Cup, which is the 14th in the series, said it was important to appreciate discipline in sports. President of the Federation, Tayo Popoola, told our correspondent that the Navy team stood out for competing fairly and that they were well disciplined “It was not a surprise that they got the award.

They were everywhere and they mixed with others and displayed good spirit of sportsmanship. I salute the team, and they should keep it up,” Popoola said.

Our correspondent observed that while other paramilitary bodies were in attendance, the absence of the Nigerian Police was felt at the event in Abuja. Meanwhile, the World Taekwondo Demonstration Team, Kukkiwon, thrilled fans with breathtaking performances, mouth-watering displays and electrifying entertainment at the event.
