WKFE General Assembly in Lyon

The regular session of the WKFE General Assembly took place on May 7 during the 20th European Wushu Championship in Lyon.

Nineteen members were represented through their voting and non-voting delegates, carrying proxy votes from an additional 10 members. This resulted in the presence of 29 members out of 33 members with paid membership fees for 2026 and previous years.

Distinguished guest and IWUF Vice President Mr. Anthony Goh attended the General Assembly as an observer and used the opportunity to sign a cooperation agreement between the US and Greek federations together with HWKF President Mr. Spiros Karapanos.

Three countries have refrained from participation and payment of membership fees for several years already (Moldova, Montenegro, and Finland). In addition, four countries did not pay the 2026 membership fee (Bulgaria, Lithuania, Serbia, and Turkey), which, according to the statutes, automatically results in temporary suspension until their financial obligations are settled.

The President, Secretary General, and Treasurer presented their reports, including the Financial Report for 2025, the Financial Plan for 2026, and the first-quarter plan for 2027 .

The reports, as was well as the proposal for the adapted WKFE Statutes and Internal Regulations were accepted with over 2/3 majority.
The General Assembly also granted the Board of Directors a discharge for the year 2025.

December 20, 2023

Regarding the recent occurrences at the European Championships in Kumburgaz, Istanbul, Turkey, held between December 15-17, the WKFE Board of Directors seeks to acknowledge and address the concerns raised.

Regrettably, two incidents disturbed the event for several WKFE officials present during the competition. Firstly, there were discrepancies in judging, marked by technical irregularities and inappropriate behavior toward WKFE officials. Despite a formal on-site protest to the local organizer TWF, these issues persisted throughout the event.

Secondly, political displays were reported during the prize-giving ceremonies, reportedly initiated by individual members associated with the TWF.

Immediate measures were taken on-site, including personal meetings and official protests, to strongly contest these occurrences. Such actions do not align with our values and standards within the WKFE community.

An internal investigation has been launched to examine these incidents, seeking clarity and understanding thoroughly. This inquiry aims to identify any shortcomings and enable the implementation of necessary measures. The findings will be consolidated into a comprehensive report.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through this process. The Board of Directors remains steadfast in upholding the integrity and fair play of our sport, and we are diligently undertaking all essential steps to address these concerns transparently and effectively.
