Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Tran Dang Trong, Vice President of the Nghe An Karate Federation, emphasized: “Over more than 10 years of building and development, the Nghe An Karate Federation has gradually affirmed its position in the province's sports movement. From the initial simple training sessions, the Karate movement has now spread throughout the localities, becoming an environment for physical training, willpower, and morality for the younger generation.”
The 13th Nghe An Open Karate Championship aims to further promote the general sports training movement and the sport of Karate in particular within the province; it is also an opportunity for athletes to interact, learn, showcase their talents, and gain competition experience, thereby selecting talented athletes to supplement the province's Karate team to participate in domestic and international competitions.
