If karate becomes an Olympic sport

The World Karate Federation is working to bring karate to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles as an official sport. After a long absence from the Olympics, karate became an official Olympic sport at the Tokyo 2020 Games, but it was excluded from the Paris 2024 Games, making the Los Angeles 2028 Games a critical point for the sport. If the World Karate Federation is able to secure the inclusion of karate in the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, it will increase the likelihood that the sport will be included in the future. Inclusion in the Olympics is a great opportunity to bring karate to a wider audience, and for the athletes who train in karate, winning an Olympic medal is an attractive position. The inclusion of karate in the Olympic program will help the sport grow.
