As part of a national census operation, the Algerian Weightlifting Federation invites all those wishing to enter the world of coaching and training as coaches in this sport to fill out the form via the following link: [Form Link]. This form is specifically designed to determine the number of individuals interested in coaching training, in preparation for future training programs.

In a strategic move reflecting its commitment to modernization and efficiency, the Algerian Weightlifting Federation is betting on digitalization as a key tool to promote national sports. This bet comes with the launch of its new official website algeriawf.com, in addition to integrating an advanced digital platform like "Nova Sport Algeria," and developing mobile applications that facilitate access for athletes and coaches. These initiatives aim to simplify administration, enhance transparency, and increase interaction with the public, amidst the continuous athletic achievements of the Algerian national team.

The Algerian Weightlifting Federation announces to all leagues and clubs that the final deadline for submitting sports license applications through the electronic portal is October 31, 2025. After this date, the portal will be permanently closed and no new applications can be registered.
