Young Karate athletes from all over the world are travelling to Limassol (Cyprus) to participate in an anticipated edition of the Karate 1-Youth League.

The tournament will be held in Limassol from April 29 to May 1. It is the second Karate 1-Youth League of the season following the opening competition in Acapulco (Mexico)

Over 1600 youngsters from 51 countries are gathering at the event. The massive participation of promising karatekas in the event showcases the strength of Karate at young ages and is set to be a celebration of the many values of the sport.

The competition will take place at the Spyros Kyprianou Athletic Center in Limassol. Junior categories will open the competition on Friday, with Cadet divisions taking the stage on Saturday and Under 14 categories closing the tournament on Sunday. Finals will be held at the end of each competition day.

It is the third time that the Cypriot city is hosting a Karate 1-Youth League event after the successful editions of 2019 and 2021. Last year the event gathered nearly 800 competitors from 37 countries. This tally of participants is therefore doubled in this edition.
