Eshaq Ibrahim Eshaq, President of the Bahrain Weightlifting Federation, has been appointed to the Executive Board of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), becoming the first Bahraini ever to hold this prestigious position. This historic milestone marks a significant achievement for Bahraini sports on the global stage and reflects the Kingdom’s growing influence in international athletic governance.

His appointment underscores Bahrain’s dedication to elevating its presence in world sporting institutions and promoting its athletes and administrators at the highest levels. It also highlights Eshaq’s long-standing commitment and leadership within the weightlifting community, both locally and regionally.

His presence on the board is expected to bring fresh perspectives, especially from the Middle East, and further strengthen the relationship between Bahrain and global sporting bodies.

This achievement is not only a personal triumph for Eshaq but also a testament to the Bahrain Weightlifting Federation’s efforts in fostering international cooperation, talent development, and sports diplomacy. The move aligns with Bahrain’s broader vision of promoting excellence in sports and achieving recognition through active participation in international federations.
