Gradation certificates

Over 100 players have been awarded sports gradation certificates in three phases. The last and fourth phase of the gradation interviews will be conducted for the remaining players.

“In three phases, over 100 players have been awarded certificates based on their achievements. Due to a less number of tournaments in the last session, a fewer number of players turned up for the interviews,” said an official.
