The Freedom Asian Chess Initiatives (FACI) aims to support the development of chess programs and infrastructure in Asian countries, promote the game by integrating it into educational and cultural initiatives, and provide talented players with opportunities to compete internationally, fostering the growth and recognition of chess across the region.
Empowering Chess in Asia
About the project
We believe that chess contributes to the development of intellectual abilities and personal qualities, as well as to the strengthening of international ties and friendship.
In 2024, the program reached five Asian countries: Cambodia, Nepal, Oman, Tajikistan, and Sri Lanka
