The 10th edition of the Zainab Saleh International Female Open Karate Championship is set to kick off on 18 October, at the Molade Okoya Thomas Indoor Sports Hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium.
Founder and sponsor Zainab Saleh reflected on the championship’s remarkable journey since its inception in 2014.
“I wanted to provide a platform for female karatekas to showcase their skills and develop their technical abilities,” Ms Saleh told journalists in Lagos. “I believe that a woman should have the skills to defend herself, and karate is one of the best ways to achieve this.”
