Last week, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan was visited by important guests. A delegation from Kuwait has arrived to join the organization, as well as a representative of the Indian Ice Hockey Federation to sign a cooperation agreement. On the first day, our guests visited the training facility of HC Ak Bars, the club equipment center, and also, the KHL match. In it, our team hosted the only league club from China “Kunlun” at Tatneft Arena and beat it with a score of 5:1

The second day of the program was no less intense: the delegation visited the heart of the oil industry of Tatarstan – Almetyevsk

The first stop of the trip was the Neftyanik Ice Hockey Training Center. Our guests were shown where the academy students train, how they live and eat. Fuhaid Alajmi, President of the Kuwait Winter Sports Club, and Harjinder Singh, Secretary General of the Ice Hockey Federation of India, also took part in the dedication of the youths to ice hockey players

Next, a meeting of representatives of ADIHIC and the delegations of Kuwait and India was held, together with the leadership of HC Ak Bars represented by Nail Ulfatovich Maganov. First, an agreement was signed with the Kuwait Winter Games Club to officially join our organization. Then, a document on mutual cooperation between the Ice Hockey Federations of the Republic of Tatarstan and India was signed

At the end of a working program, our guests went to the Almet community center. We visited the exhibition of musical instruments of the peoples of the world and the interactive scientific center, unique for the republic

To conclude, this event has once again shown that partnership between countries and federations based on trust, friendship and equality is really important for the development of ice hockey not only in Islamic countries, but also all around the world. Only together we can reach any peaks

The doors of our organization are always open to new members
