The 2023 World Union of Karate-Do Federations (WUKF) World Karate Championships in Dundee

Lodged by Michael Marra (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Dundee’s Kanzen Karate on the successful hosting of the World Union of Karate-Do Federations (WUKF) World Karate Championships in July 2023; recognises that over 5,000 athletes, coaches, officials and spectators from five continents and 62 karate federations attended the event in Dundee; notes that this is the second time in five years that the city has hosted the event, with a similarly impressive championship taking place in 2018, which, it understands, contributed millions to the local economy; believes that the economic boost to Dundee from the 2023 tournament is estimated to be in excess of £10 million; commends what it sees as the remarkable work of Kanzen Karate, its Chief Officer, Roy O’Kane, and WUKF; thanks them for their contribution to the Dundee and Scottish economies, and wishes organisers, competitors and supporters the very best for their future endeavours.
