The International Camel Racing Federation (ICRF) recently held its 4th General Assembly, marking a crucial moment for the future of camel racing worldwide. During this assembly, several key decisions were made to advance the sport and improve its global governance.
- Acceptance of New Members: Full membership granted to 19 new federations from various countries around the world.
- Approval of Amendments to the Constitution: Adoption of significant changes aimed at improving governance.
- Launch of New Events for 2025: Announcement of new international races and continental championships as part of the federation's agenda.
- Signing Strategic Partnerships: Strengthening collaboration with international organizations.
- Hosting the Next General Assembly: Marrakech, Morocco, selected to host the General Assembly in 2025.
Chad’s participation in the assembly was particularly remarkable. The Chadian Camel Racing Federation (FTCD), under the exceptional leadership of its president, Chérif Allatchi-Galma, played a key role in discussions around the creation of the African Camel Federation. Chérif Allatchi-Galma’s remarkable efforts were unanimously praised, as his leadership and diplomatic approach continue to unite African nations around this sport.
This achievement would not have been possible without the invaluable support of the President of the Chadian Olympic and Sports Committee (COST), General Idriss Dokony Adiker, who also serves as the President of the Ethics Commission of the International Federation. His full assistance throughout the process enabled the FTCD to access essential resources and establish strategic collaborations, further strengthening Chad's position on the international stage.
Chad’s active involvement in the ICRF further highlights the country’s commitment to advancing camel racing and promoting African heritage on the global stage. This recognition strengthens Chad’s position as a leader in camel sports and cultural preservation, laying a strong foundation for regional and continental collaboration.
