On September 20, 2026, 368 masters gathered at the Korean Center in Adjamé to support Me Jean Marc Yacé, president of the Ivorian Taekwondo Federation (FITKD), following the cancellation of the ordinary general assembly on December 28, 2025, by the Ministry of Sports. During the meeting, Yacé called for responsibility and condemned the criticisms spread on social media. He also confirmed that the ministry had requested the suspension of the assembly due to anomalies, while asserting that legal conditions had been met for its convening.
