At the South Asian Federation Games to be staged in Islamabad, Pakistan from March 29 to April 7, rowing will be one of the disciplines up for competition for the first time.

This will be a historic moment in the annals of rowing in the region, as it will be for the first time that the national rowing teams of the countries in the South Asian Region will be competing against each other.

The SAF Games which is considered to the premier sporting event in the region, is being held after four years as it was postponed twice due to developments in the region.

The National Rowing Team of Sri Lanka has been hard at training in the past few months for the Games and is confident of performing creditably at the Games.

The Amateur Rowing Association of Sri Lanka is ever so grateful to Bank of Ceylon, HNB Assurance Limited, DIMO and Slimline for sponsoring all the training expenses for SAF rowing pool.
