Rakhimshaikhov said that more than 2 million soms had been transferred for the purchase of the tickets.

«We had been preparing for this championship for more than six months. At the moment, we have only minimal chances of making it to the competition,» he said.

The federation has appealed to tour operators, airlines, and the country’s leadership for assistance in helping the national team reach Mongolia and participate in the Asian Championship. According to Rakhimshaikhov, the International and Asian ITF Taekwondo Federations are ready to extend the registration deadline for Kyrgyzstan’s team until tomorrow so that the athletes can still take part in the tournament.
