The World Karate Federation regrets to inform that the Karate 1-Premier League event to take place in Rabat (Morocco) from March 13-15 has been cancelled due to recent developments regarding the coronavirus outbreak.

The cancellation of the event has been taken upon the decision of the Moroccan authorities to take extraordinary measures to control the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country. All international sports competitions have been cancelled in Morocco, and the World Karate Federation has just received the communication from the Moroccan government regarding the Karate event to be held in Rabat next week.

Due to this unexpected circumstance, the World Karate Federation in coordination with the International Olympic Committee is working through its Olympic Planning Commission and the Executive Committee to find adequate solutions for any eventual adjustments on the Olympic Qualification System.

The World Karate Federation expresses its full commitment to continue doing its utmost to provide the best conditions for athletes to compete at the highest level and sincerely regrets the inconveniences created by this unfortunate situation.
