Ahmed Tarik Amiry has recently been elected as a member of the World Archery Executive Board. During the WA Congress held on September 2-3, 2025, in Gwangju, Korea, Ahmed Tarik Amiry, President of World Archery Africa (WAAf), President of the Sudan Archery Federation, and First Vice President of the Arab Archery Federation, was elected to the WA Executive Board in the first round of voting with a total of 167 votes.
Ahmed Tarik Amiry is the second African member of the WA Executive Board, after Aladin Gabr, who served two terms from 2013 to 2021 and from 2022 to 2023. The recent growth of archery in Africa backed his candidacy during the elections, along with his strong campaign and direct communication with all Member Associations.
Amiry was elected after a historic election of a new World Archery President, Greg Easton from the USA, who received two-thirds of the total votes from the Member Associations. The Congress saw the presence of 145 Member Associations, including proxies, with a total of 308 votes, marking a record turnout.
As President of World Archery Africa, Ahmed Tarik Amiry honored both Ugur Erdener, the former WA President, and Greg Easton, the new president-elect.
