We would like to inform you that the Karate 1-Youth League Limassol has been cancelled because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Scheduled to take place from May 1 to 3 in Limassol (Cyprus), the Karate 1-Youth League Limassol was the opening event of the season of Karate’s first-class series of international tournaments for youngsters. The cancellation of the event is made effective upon the decision of the local organisers in line with the regulation of the government of Cyprus to control the global pandemic of coronavirus.

Conceived as a platform for the development of youngsters in their quest to progress in the sport, the Karate 1-Youth League puts the focus on young athletes of ages 12 to 17. The 2020 season was supposed to start in Limassol (Cyprus) from May 1 to 3 with stops in Porec (Croatia) from July 3 to 5, Monterrey (Mexico) from September 25 to 27 and Venice (Italy) from December 4 to 6.

The WKF will continue to stay in close collaboration with all relevant organisations as the overall developments of the Covid-19 crisis continue being closely monitored. The WKF remains fully committed to the safety and well-being of athletes, staff members and fans.

The 28th Mediterranean Karate Championships will be held in Nicosia (Cyprus). We expect to have the same successful attendance of karatekas from all the Mediterranean nations as in previous editions.

Encouraged and excited by the success of the previous championships organized in Cyprus, the Cypriot Karatekas and particularly the Cyprus Karate Federation Directing Committee works very hard to ensure that the “28th Mediterranean Karate Championship” will be a truly worthy event for all those involved. This event will be truly worthwhile for those who will participate, athletes, coaches, referees and delegates.

The Cyprus Karate Federation successfully participated in the 6th European Small State Games held in Reykjavik, Iceland 13-15 / 9/2019.

Cyprus, with 28 athletes and athletes in 48 competitions in the 3 karate events, took second place with 12 gold, 7 silver and 11 bronze medals behind Luxembourg, which had 69 competitions in all 4 competitions and won the 1st position. The success of Cyprus reflects the quality of the athletes but mainly the fact that in recent years Cypriot athletes and athletes have greatly increased their level of competitiveness.
