Turkmenistan became the official member of the World Bodybuilding Federation
During the 10th WBPF Championships held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, from 11th to 17th December 2018, Turkmenistan was admitted to the World Bodybuilding And Physique Sports Federation (WBPF).
Paul Chua, WBPF Secretary General, President of the Asian Bodybuilding Federation, presented the official membership certificate to the representatives of the Athletic Sports Center of Turkmenistan.
Membership of our country in this international organization would enable Turkmen athletes to participate in competitions held under WBPF, promote bodybuilding among the youth of Turkmenistan and, in the future, to become the host country of major international bodybuilding tournaments.
Delegates from Turkmenistan Vepa Nurnazarov and Bayramgeldy Gochgarov participated in the annual World Organization Congress and other meetings organized as part of the championship.
Bodybuilding in Turkmenistan is developing rapidly. The Athletic Sports Center of Turkmenistan regularly organizes competitions among the best bodybuilders in the country. For example, on November 11, bodybuilding and fitness competitions for the Turkmenistan Cup were held in Ashgabat. Rustem Gaybadullin and Roman Mingaliyev became the winners of competitions for the Turkmenistan Cup.
