Country’s several sports federations are currently running their respective ad-hoc committees which are working to meet their elections under the National Sports Council this year after the COVID-19 break.
There is a very high possibility of new leadership in several sports federations if all parties follow their respective election procedures and welcome the wind of changes for the sake of sports.
