Applications open for 2025 Freedom Asian Chess Initiatives (FACI)

The Kazakhstan Chess Federation invites national chess federations to apply for the 2025 Freedom Asian Chess Initiatives (FACI) project, supported by Freedom Holding Corp. in partnership with FIDE and the Asian Chess Federation. The FACI project aims to develop chess potential in Asian countries.

By joining this project, your federation will benefit from:

  • Comprehensive training programs: Sessions tailored for players, trainers, and arbiters to enhance their skills and expertise.
  • Material support: Provision of chessboards, clocks, and essential equipment to aid local activities.
  • Educational resources: Curricula and materials designed for school programs to foster chess education.

In 2024, federations from Cambodia, Nepal, Oman, Tajikistan, and Sri Lanka greatly benefited from tailored training sessions, simultaneous exhibitions, and support during the Chess Olympiad. 

As part of the new phase, the project aims to expand its reach by inviting more countries to participate. FACI strives to unite chess communities, create new opportunities for talented players, and strengthen chess culture throughout the region.

Application deadline: January 19, 2025, 12:00 PM Astana time (UTC+5).
