1 Initial Greetings
1.1 President of the World Karate Federation Antonio Espinós
The world of Karate is about to experience one of the most anticipated moments in recent history:
the qualification to the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018.
The hopes and dreams of thousands of young karatekas will take the stage in a memorable event to
be held in Umag (Croatia) from June 29 to 30; the history of the sport will then be written as the first
Olympic Karate athletes will be earning their tickets to star in the debut of the ancient modality at
the Youth Olympic Games.
We are so proud to have the whole world witnessing our amazing sport in action at the Youth
Olympic Games. The Karate event in Buenos Aires 2018 will be a chance to showcase the talent,
values and many sporting abilities of our modality to the world. While this anticipated moment
comes, we will have one more opportunity to continue inspiring generations of young karatekas in
the memorable Youth Olympic Games 2018 Qualification Tournament.
The city of Umag in Croatia has played a key role in helping us to deliver this vision since the idyllic
seaside city has hosted for the past years the highly successful WKF Youth Training Camp and WKF
Karate 1 Youth Cup. Now, Umag becomes again the heart of young Karate with the first Youth
Olympic Games Qualification Tournament.
This event will add another chapter to the history of our sport; in this sense, I would like to thank the
Croatian Karate Federation and its president Stjepan Celan for the immense support they are
providing to the delivery of this event.
I wish all athletes and coaches the very best at this competition and I look forward to sharing this
historic moment for Karate with thousands and thousands of fans.
Antonio Espinós
President WKF

1.2. President of the Croatian Karate Federation Stjepan Čelan
Esteemed athletes, sport officials, dear guests,
It is both, an honour and pleasure to greet you on the behalf of the Croatian Karate Union and the
Organizing Committee of the “2018 YOG Qualification Tournament” and welcome you to Croatia and
unique City of Umag.
We are exceptionally proud that we have been entrusted to organize such an important competition
and will do our best so that the competition is held smoothly and all the participants are satisfied.
Karate speaks all languages and connects all people and generations regardless of race, sex, religion
and political status and by these basic tenets our karate family is well known.
I hope that, along with the event itself, you will have many beautiful and pleasurable moments
during your stay in Croatia and that the city of Umag will remain pleasant memories that you will
always gladly remember.
I am looking forward to see you all together in Umag, Croatia and I wish you a lot of success in the
competition!
Respectfully,
Stjepan Čelan
President of the Croatian Karate Federation
