After observing the performances of 35 hopefuls for places in the 14th Asian Cities Gold Cup Taekwondo Championships which will be held from 19 to 21 February 2010 in Hong Kong, the Selection Panel comprising Messrs Steven Soh, Chin Khee Shin and Lee Thiam Poh, picked 25 players.
The selected players will be required to meet the training requirements to qualify for the final selection which will be held some time in end December 2009 or early January 2010.
The number of players who will eventually board the plane to Hong Kong will be decided by the selectors at the final trial. It will be limited by the number set by the organizers.
Those who are not selected to train for the final trial are encouraged to continue training for future selections. For them, the outcome of the selection simply means that they are not ready for international competitions.
All selected players are requested to report for briefing and training on Monday, 16 November 2009 at 7.30pm at STF Temporary National Training Centre at Greatland Building.
