He further said that “due to the limited sport activity in the said period, the 41st Edition of the awards will be different in two ways:
Firstly, it will combine 2020 & 2021 activities; and secondly, There is a reduced number of categories, of course noting that some new categories have been introduced to particularly respond to the era we have just come from”

The Mares have in the period stated qualified for their maiden appearance at the 2022 AWCON as the main highlight to be staged in Morocco.
