WUKF European Tour 2022

An exciting new ranking system from
the World Union of Karate-Do Federations (WUKF)
WWW.WUKF-KARATE.ORG
 About

The World Union of Karate-Do Federations (WUKF) is delighted to announce the new WUKF
European Tour. This new idea will create a ranking system for athletes where they can collect points
based on results and become European Tour Champion at the end of the year.

The tour will be held under the auspices of the European Union of Karate-Do Federations (EUKF).

As this is the first year of the WUKF European Tour, we have preselected existing competitions to
implement the ranking process. The tour will be reviewed at the end of 2022 with the opportunity
for existing federations to host a WUKF European Tour event in 2023.

WUKF European Tour Commission

In order to organise and develop the tour moving forward, the European Tour Commission has been
established to coordinate events and rankings. Commission members:

▪ Mr Essam Shreif, WUKF Referee Commission

▪ Mr Roy O’Kane, WUKF Public Relations Officer
▪ Mr Martin Jarabica, Advisor
▪ Mr Radu Munteanu, WUKF Events Director

“I am very excited about this

development within our European
federations and I’m sure the tour will
grow to become an established
feature of the WUKF/EUKF calendar.
I would like to thank the commission
for their hard work and wish all the
athletes the very best of success. “

Dr Liviu Crisan, WUKF World President
