According to JameVarzesh, AmirReza Ilkhani, the supervisor of Kermanshah’s youth Taekwondo team, announced that the Kermanshah team, named Bisotoun Steel, will participate in the Premier Taekwondo League competitions. He added, “Fortunately, this year, with the support and sponsorship of Mr. Jahanbakhsh Shokri, the CEO of Shokri Holding, and the generous support of the Shokri brothers, the Kermanshah team will compete in the national Premier Taekwondo League.” Ilkhani noted that despite the challenging economic conditions in the country, supporting sports teams, especially in Kermanshah province, is very difficult.

He emphasized their commitment to supporting the Kermanshah Taekwondo youth team in the Premier League this year. Ilkhani expressed optimism about the potential of Kermanshah’s young Taekwondo athletes, stating, “We hope that Bisotoun Steel can secure the confidence of Shakouri Industrial Group by achieving victory in the national Premier Taekwondo League, paving the way for further support from other industrial units for teams across the province in various disciplines.” Finally, Ilkhani mentioned that the competitions of the Premier Taekwondo League for youth will be held in late Aban or early Azar(November), with prominent Taekwondo teams from across the country participating.
