WKF HEAD OFFICE work very hard in cooperation with our IRC- “International rules committee” to train our international officials and referees, to answer protests and requests for the competition rules and to develop our various WKF rules.
Our last World referee seminar´s 2022 in Wels, Austria, 2023 in Skofije, Slovenia and in Buenos Aires, Argentina appointed several new female WKF referees with international licenses.
Today we again have 11 female officials worldwide only with an international WKF referee license.
History has shown that nothing is set in stone.
As the world know – our next World referee seminar will be held in Spain, Sunday November 17th 2024, just before the WKF World Championships.
The next but one World referee seminar will be held in Poland (!) in autumn 2025, the weekend just before the European Championships 2025 .
Without valid WKF license you are not an official in our World Kickboxing Federation!
Today WKF has more than 120 international licensed referees on 6 continents.
Of these, unfortunately, we only have just
eleven (!)
international licensed female officials
Like all knowledge, World wide more and more strong female champions and athletes are fighting, on tatami and Ring!
Our WKF executive board therefore emphatically
requests all our WKF country presidents
to send more female referees to Alicante, Spain, to the next World referee seminar in November 17th 2024, in our main Hotel La Familia Gallo Rojo
To all our country presidents World wide:
It’s in your hands and we just want
more female
licensed officials
