Due to the special circumstances in Chile, the World Karate Federation has announced today that the competition calendar of the upcoming World Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships has been amended. 

The modification aims at adapting the event to the unusual situation in the ry as well as guaranteeing the well-being of competitors and staff members, and ensuring the normal progress of the competition. 

Following the decision taken by the WKF Executive Committee today, each competition day will be centred on only one category, with finals and medal ceremonies being held on the same day. Therefore, the competition will be organised as follows: 

- Wednesday: Individual Kata 

- Thursday: Cadet Kumite

- Friday: Junior Kumite 

- Saturday: U21 Male Kumite 

- Sunday: U21 Female Kumite and Team Kata
