The regional sports director of Sud-Comoé, Koné Fibla, expressed her gratitude to FIBAD for this initiative which will allow teachers to introduce badminton into schools. She stressed that this sporting discipline can play a crucial role in the development of youth, particularly young girls.
The secretary general of the DRENA of Aboisso, Motché Apollinaire, welcomed this training, which he considers as a preventive measure to keep young people away from vices.
