"The WTF President’s Cup is a very popular event with fans and spectators as it brings together cadet, junior and senior athletes at one event, providing a completely unique sporting experience.

"There are few sports that are as accessible to people of all ages, genders and social backgrounds in the same way that taekwondo is.

"At the WTF, we are committed to developing the sport around the world and ensuring that as many people as possible enjoy the benefits of taking part in the sport."
