Minister Fernando will secure special approval from the Cabinet of Ministers for the innovative programme, ‘Road to Olympics.’
This initiative ensures that Sri Lankan athletes receive all necessary facilities and funding to participate in crucial Olympic Qualifiers and international competitions from January to July, aiming to meet the qualification standards.
