Building Stronger Partnerships in Triathlon

The meeting centered on ways to enhance cooperation between Bahraini and international federations to further develop triathlon in the Kingdom. HH Shaikh Isa bin Ali praised World Triathlon’s efforts in supporting national federations and expanding the sport’s global reach.

He also highlighted Bahrain’s growing success in triathlon, thanks to the support of HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of His Majesty for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs and Chairman of the SCYS.
