The Gambia Amateur Boxing Association will on Saturday, July 12, hold its third congress at the Independence Stadium, Bakau.

The meeting, which will gather delegates from the four existing amateur boxing clubs in the country to dilate on the past activities including the financial status of the association, will also witness the election, into office, a new executive committee that will steer the affairs of the association for the next five years.

In an interview with Observer Sports, Sang Korea, incumbent president of the Gambia Amateur Boxing Association, said it is a constitutional mandate for the association to hold congress at the end of every five-year term, noting that this creates a platform for members to assess the past activities of the association, as well as make resolutions for the way forward. He called on the members of the association, especially the accredited delegates, to come and exercise their constitutional rights.
