The last international referee seminar in 2025 in Minsk, Belarus, has brought three more highly qualified “Women in Black” to our team, and thus further strengthens our team.
Today we again just have
19 female officials worldwide
with an international WKF referee license.
The past has shown that we need more officially WKF licensed ladies internationally. The next but one World referee seminar will be held now in autumn 2026.
The weekend just before the World Championships 2026
As the word knows, our WKF was celebrating 60 years of existence in the last WKF World Championships in Spain 2024
In Cartagena, Colombia we expect again more than 1.500 Champions, man and women.
Without valid WKF license you are not an official in our World Kickboxing Federation!!
Today WKF has more than 140 international licensed referees on 6 continents.
Like all knowledge, more and more strong female champions and athletes are fighting
Of these, unfortunately, we only have
nineteen
WORLD CLASS
female officials
Our executive board therefore emphatically requests all WKF country presidents to send more female referees to Colombia, the next seminar in autumn 2026.
It is in your hands and your own responsibility …
we just need more female officials
Significant date in the history of world kickboxing
The World Kickboxing Federation WKF and the Russian Kickboxing Federation held a meeting at the Olympic Committee of the Russian Federation in Moscow and signed an agreement on joint cooperation.
Since 28.03.2025 the official representative of the WKF on the territory of the Russian Federation is the Russian Kickboxing Federation- FKR represented by its leader Batu Sergeevich Khasikov. The Russian national kickboxing team is allowed to participate in all international WKF tournaments with the national flag and national anthem of the Russian Federation.
The representative of the FKR – Danil Karpenko – is the new vice-president of the WKF World Amateur Division.
Soon a representative of the FKR will also be appointed to the position of the representative of the Russian Federation in the IRC – International Rules Committee.
The previous representative of the WKF in the territory of the Russian Federation Gerasimov M.V. is removed from the previously held position and is relieved of all rights and obligations.
WKF CEO and World President Fritz EXENBERGER emphasized that without the Russian team no international federation can consider itself leading, because athletes from Russia are few of the strongest in the world.
WKF and FKR are ready to implement the most ambitious joint projects. Soon we will please kickboxing fans all over the world. Follow the news!
