STATEMENT FROM THE JORDAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

The Executive Office of the Jordan Olympic Committee (JOC) has held their session number 3\2018 in the JOC headquarters where a number of decisions were made.

There has been an ongoing issue of several federations not receiving the monthly payments from its general assembly members.

The JOC has been working closely with those national federations to retain their general assemblies and to support its role in improving sport, but the JOC is disappointed with how things have developed in some cases.

Based on the letters received from several federations, the situation will be as follows:

• Based on Article 15A5 of the Federation Law, Tennis, Wrestling, Judo and Equestrian Federations have dissolved their boards due the dissolving of their General Assemblies. The JOC will form temporary committees to manage these Federations with expertise based on article 26 from the Federation Law.

• Regarding the Basketball Federation, the JOC has already formed a temporary committee last November, and it will continue with their work.

• There are nine federations required to consider their legal situations based on Article 9 from the Federation Law, so the JOC has sent official letters for them to put things right.

The JOC assured that the Law will allow people from the former General Assemblies to apply again and have urged all federations to commit to following the Law.
