Kazakhstan Karate Federation Delegation Visits World Karate Federation Headquarters in Madrid

The World Karate Federation (WKF) welcomed a delegation from the Kazakhstan Karate Federation to its headquarters in Madrid, in line with the WKF’s open-door policy for national federations. The initiative encourages all members to visit and become familiar with the federation’s new offices and operations.

The Kazakh delegation included Vice-President Bolat Khavlahat and Secretary General Askar Moldagali. President Pak Yevgeny Konstantinovich was unable to attend due to an unforeseen last-minute circumstance.

The representatives were received by WKF President Antonio Espinós, with WKF CEO Sara Wolff and WKF Events Manager Ivan Delfino also in attendance at the meeting.

President Espinós thanked the Kazakhstan delegation for their visit.

“We are grateful to the Kazakhstan Karate Federation for taking the time to visit our headquarters in Madrid. Kazakhstan is one of the powerhouse nations of karate in Asia, and its athletes have consistently achieved strong results at major WKF events. We look forward to continuing to see Kazakhstan competing at our top competitions and to supporting the growth and success of its athletes in the years ahead.”

The WKF expressed its confidence that cooperation with the national federations will continue to support athlete development and promote the sport globally, as well as to ensure transparency, collaboration, and shared progress across the international karate community.
