A Physical Education Student Wins a Silver Medal in Football Tennis
Abdulrahman Ali Jassim, a student at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Samarra, won the silver medal in the Iraqi Championship for the Football Tennis Cup. He participated as part of the Salahuddin Sports Club team in the tournament matches, which were organized in the holy city of Karbala at the beginning of this month.
Football tennis is a sport that originated in the 1920s in Czechoslovakia. It is played outdoors on a small, defined court divided into two halves by a hanging net. Each team plays on one half of the court.
The game involves attempting to hit the ball into the opponent’s area without them being able to return it, similar to tennis but using parts of the body other than the hands. Each team consists of one, two, or a maximum of three players.
On behalf of the University of Samarra, the Department of Media and Government Communication congratulates student Abdulrahman Ali and wishes him continued success in his athletic career.
