The WKF has announced that the Karate 1-Youth League event which was scheduled to take place in Venice (Italy) from December 4 to 6 has been cancelled due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite the efforts by the organizers to host the event, the local organizing committee decided to cancel the competition following the application of the Decree of the Italian Government issued on November 3rd, and the further restrictions being imposed in the country to control the expansion of the coronavirus outbreak.
The effects of the second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic make it impossible for the organizers to celebrate the event with enough guarantees for athletes, fans, and staff members.
Traditionally one of the most popular events of the year, the Karate 1-Youth League was the last international tournament scheduled for the season.
