Today we again have 11 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 2025, the weekend just before the  European Championships 2025 .

As the world knows, our WKF is celebrating 60 years of existence in the next WKF World Championships in Spain in 2024.

We expect in Spain 2024 again more than 1.500 Champions, man and women.

Without valid WKF license you are not an official in our World Kickboxing Federation!!

Of these, unfortunately, we only have
