Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary met at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The evidence submitted for the 'awards' criterion did not establish the national or international significance of the team's victory. For the 'memberships' criterion, the petitioner provided coaching certificates but did not show they constituted membership in associations that require outstanding achievements.
