History

edit

Chad gymnastics began when Ramón Grosso, son of Spanish footballer Ramón Grosso and president of the Fundación Ramón Grosso, introduced Father Camille, a Chadian Jesuit, to Sylvia García, president of Spanish gymnastics club CGA Pozuelo. Grosso, whose foundation was already supporting football and basketball in Chad, decided to began a program to support Chadian girls in gymnastics.[1]

Chad officially became an affiliate member of the International Gymnastics Federation in May 2022.[2] They fielded their first team at the 2024 African Championships where they placed fourth behind Egypt, South Africa, and Morocco.[3]
