 The Jordanian Olympic Committee announced the delegation to participate in the nineteenth edition of the Asian Games, which will be hosted by the Chinese city of Hangzhou, during the coming period from September 23 to October 8.

 Her Highness Princess Sarah bint Faisal heads the Jordanian delegation in the (Hangzhou 2022) tournament, and it consists of 89 male and female players representing 16 sports.

 The list of participating sports includes: swimming, bow and arrow, athletics, badminton, basketball, boxing, fencing, golf, gymnastics, jujitsu, karate, electronic games, shooting, taekwondo, triathlon, and weightlifting.

 For her part, the Secretary-General of the Jordanian Olympic Committee, Rana Nazmi Al-Saeed, praised the efforts made by our national teams participating in the Asian Games with intensive preparations and serious endeavors to represent Jordan in the best possible way and achieve advanced results that reflect the development of Jordanian sports.

 Al-Saeed said that the tournament - which has been postponed for a year - is receiving great interest from the Jordanian Olympic Committee. It is one of the largest sports tournaments, in terms of the number of participants and the strength of competition, in addition to being a gateway to qualifying for the Paris Olympics next year in a number of sports.

 Al-Saeed added that the tournament is one of the strongest and most important sports tournaments. This doubles the responsibility on the national teams in order to show the performance that befits them, stressing the committee's aspiration to achieve achievement and excellence.

 It is noteworthy that Jordan began its participation in the Asian Games since the Seoul edition in 1986, and since that edition, Jordan has participated in 8 editions, and managed to achieve 45 medals, including 5 gold medals, 16 silver medals, and 24 bronze medals.
