The World Juniors & Cadet Karate Championships 2013 will be held in Guadalajara Spain from November 7-10.

It is for me and for all of the components of the World Karate family a great pleasure to visit Guadalajara and Spain. Around 100 countries from the five continents are going to meet in Guadalajara around Karate, a sport that is proving day by day not only how deep it is merged in our society but also the added value that its practice gives irrespective of age and condition.

Spain is a very important piece of the World Karate Federation, for both qualitative and quantitative reasons. We have lived the progress that karate has experienced in this country and how positively it has been contributing to the worldwide development of our sport.

I also want to congratulate the Royal Spanish Karate Federation for the commitment, professionalism and interest shown for the successful organization of these Championships, and wish that this event will serve to further promote karate popularity and practice throughout the country.

In the name of the whole World Karate, I want to thank you for your inestimable contribution, and I am sure that we all will enjoy unforgettable days in Guadalajara.

Antonio Espinós, President of World Karate Federation

The WKF 20th World Senior Championship will be held in Belgrade from 27th-31st October, 2010

The entire WKF has been waiting for a long time, with great expectation and excitement, the arrival of big days for karate in Belgrade. These wishes are also and without any doubt shared not only by the Serbian Karate Federation but also by all those that in one way or another take part in the organisation of these twentieth World Karate Championships, exactly forty years after the foundation of the World Karate Federation in 1970.

In the coordination visit that the WKF made to Belgrade one year before the event, we have seen the strong institutional support that the Serbian Federation has been able to agglutinate, as well as the superb facilities that will be offered to the many delegations of the 5 continents. Between them, we were pleasantly surprised by the Belgrade Arena, a splendid stadium that will make possible the celebration of a high standard Championships, and also by the outstanding conditions of the selected hotels.

Finally, I want to thank the President of the Serbian Karate Federation and the whole organising team for their leadership, their hard work and their commitment to overcome all difficulties and be in condition to make this huge contribution to the World of Sport, and I also want to congratulate  them for their success in having chosen a working team fully capable to face the successful organisation of this great world event.

Antonio Espinos, WKF President
