Rabat – Morocco’s Chaimae El Haiti scooped up the silver medal in the women’s under 55 kg kumite division on Tuesday at the 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh — a pretty impressive result from the Moroccan team.
El Haiti’s win was a reflection of her rising career, but also a testament to all the hard work she’d put in. At only 24-years-old she has some impressive performances so far in her career, including winning the gold in the 50kg category at the 2021 Islamic Solidarity Games in Konya.
She also managed to win a bronze medal in the 50kg category at the Mediterranean Games in Oran in 2022. Now, this time around, she moved up to the -55kg category and won a faultless qualification round then reached the final where she faced real tough opposition and still managed that silver.

Morocco’s strong showing at the games
The 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games are being held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between November 7-21. Around 155 karate athletes from 41 countries are competing in various sports over a couple of days at the Boulevard City facilities.
The Moroccan team has a pretty strong showing, with over 80 athletes competing in a dozen sports including karate, judo, futsal and the like.
The Moroccan futsal team has also snatched the silver medal on Tuesday.
Chaimae El Haiti’s silver adds to that growing medal haul for Morocco in the combat disciplines. She is making herself one of Morocco’s top karatekas by racking up the medals at the big multi-sport events. She’s got all the credentials she needs to go for those top global spots in the future.
