The Executive Committee of the World Karate Federation (WKF) has approved updates to the qualification and competition system for the Qualification Tournament and the Final Phase of the Karate World Championships 2025. The decision, made during the committee’s ordinary meeting on Tuesday via videoconference, aims to enhance clarity and fairness while maximizing athletes’ opportunities to qualify for the sport’s most prestigious event.
The updated competition framework introduces several important changes. Regarding the Qualification Tournament to the Karate World Championships, a Refugee Team will be featured at the event, and this squad will be treated as a single National Federation. Following this concept, only one refugee athlete per category may participate, with selection based on ranking or sporting achievements if no ranking is available.

Egypt and Algeria followed in the medal tally, showcasing the competitive spirit and high level of talent among the young Karatekas.
