Ammon News - Her Royal Highness Princess Zeina Rashid has been elected to the Executive Council of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) for the 2025–2029 term, marking a new appointment for Jordan in the global sports arena.

Princess Zeina has a long history in table tennis, having represented Jordan in the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. She also carried the Jordanian flag at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

Following her athletic career, she moved into governance roles, including serving as a member of the ITTF Foundation Board, where she is involved in initiatives that use sports for community and youth development.
