Participating countries include Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, DRC, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Botswana and hosts Rwanda.<\/p>\n

Which Categories will be competing?<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Mbonigaba, the Taekwondo competition will bring together athletes in three categories namely juniors, seniors and para taekwondo and men and women will be represented in each category.<\/p>\n

The Senior category is contested for by athletes aged 18 years or above. It will bring together 16 teams including eight from men and eight women\u2019s teams.<\/p>\n

The junior category, which is open to young athletes aged 17 years or below, will attract 20 teams including 10 teams for boys and 10 for girls.<\/p>\n

What else will entertain people at the 10th anniversary of Ambassador\u2019s Cup?<\/b><\/p>\n

Besides the competition, the event will be entertained by the Kukkiwon Demonstration Team, a Taekwondo team based in Seoul, Korea.<\/p>\n

The team was invited to perform both during the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Korea Republic\u2019s diplomatic relations with Rwanda and Korea Ambassador\u2019s Cup.<\/p>\n

The crew will have two different performances, one on Saturday in the opening ceremony and one more on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to Son, Rwanda is among few African countries with Kukkiwon master.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are only seven masters on the continent and that\u2019s among the reasons we choose Rwanda,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
