On receiving this award, Engineer Abdullah Qtaishat, Vice President of the JWF and Spokesperson said, "This is a great testimony from the Asian and International Federations, and a sincere appreciation for the size of the recent achievements achieved by the Jordanian Wrestling Federation, which would not have been achieved without the great support provided by the Olympic Committee headed by His Highness Prince Faisal Bin Al-Hussein." A number of continental and foreign hosts were moved into the Kingdom's territory by Prince Faisal, who was instrumental in forging his close ties with the International Federation.
