WKC membership approved by TAFISA General Assembly
November 14th, 2011
Great international success for the World Karate Confederation
The General Assembly of The Association for International Sport for All (TAFISA) unanimously approved the WKC as a full member. Provisory membership was already granted by the TAFISA Executive Board in April 2010. The General Assembly was part of the 22nd TAFISA Congress from 10 to 14 November 2011 in Antalya, Turkey.
Through the TAFISA the WKC is now part of a big family of National Olympic Committees, National Sport Federations and several Scientific Associations. In addition to this the WKC benefits from the recognition of the TAFISA by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the UNESCO and the World Health Organization (WHO). What is even more important: the IOC signed an agreement of cooperation with the TAFISA. The IOC from now will sponsor TAFISA as many other International Federations are .
IOC Executive Member Mr. Sam Ramsamy along with the Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General, Mr. Wilfried Lemke and UNESCO Chief of Youth, Sport and Physical Education, Mme Golda El-Khoury, gave a speech at the 4 day TAFISA Congress. They all supported TAFISA and all its members to continue in their work to spread Sport for All including karate in the World.
