Work is already being done at a frenetic pace by organizers of Capital Challenge International, to take place on the 19th and 20th of December, in Amman, Jordan. And Jiu-Jitsu’s biggest stars have their eyes on the 150 thousand dollars up for grabs.
According to the organization, stars of the caliber of Andre Galvao, Rubens Charles “Cobrinha”, Braulio Estima, Romulo Barral, Sergio Moraes and Gabriel Vella are expected to compete. Now it’s time for the ladies to sign up.
“There’s a women’s division that was not in our plans for this maiden event, in December, but due to the large demand, we took this historic step forward here in Jordan,” said Zaid Mirza, Jordan Team's leader and main organizer of the event. “The president of the Olympic Committee, his majesty Prince Faisal Al Hussein is a great backer of the role and participation of women in sports in the region. His daughter, her royal highness Princess Ayah Al Faisal is a skillful Jiu-Jitsu practitioner,” add Mirza.
The prize money for the female absolute dispute is US$ 4,000 to the champion and US$ 2,000 to the runner-up. It’s worth remembering the organizers promise to pay US$ 100 for every submission achieved during the competition.
