The award, determined through a public online vote from October 30 to November 13, 2025, recognizes Limouchi’s outstanding contributions to increasing access and awareness of para sports across Iran through volunteerism, education and leadership.
As a Technical Classifier in Para Table Tennis, Limouchi has played a crucial role in ensuring fair competition while working to increase participation in the sport. Her influence extends far beyond the competition hall and has inspired countless students through workshops and educational initiatives designed to promote understanding of para sport.
In her role as head of volunteers for Iran’s National Paralympic Day, Limouchi significantly increased public involvement and involvement in the Paralympic Movement by organizing awareness seminars that brought parasport to new audiences. Her commitment to advocacy was further demonstrated through her participation in the UNESCO commemorations of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Limouchi has played an important role in shaping Iran’s Paralympic future through her work in the Development Committee of the National Paralympic Committee. She has championed Para table tennis on the international stage at the Asian Youth Para Games, while developing inclusive sports programs for children with disabilities at the grassroots level.
