He added that online registration for the event will commence on 20 August 2018 and end 20 September 2018. Over

Kabir disclosed that the NTF-D ranked championships which featured only 8 Kyeorugi (fighting) weight categories in the 2017 edition will be expanded to 23 events (including 18 Kyeorugi in seniors and juniors as well as 5 poomsae events) at the 2018 edition.

This is the first time that juniors will be featured at the championships, which has been in existence since the 1980s.

“The latest Daedo Gen 2 technology and World Taekwondo rules will be used for the event, which will mark the first time the latest technology and rules will be used in a National Senior event in Nigeria, after it is debuted at the upcoming National Youth Games in Ilorin, Kwara”.

“We have been discussing and planning for this event all year, so we are ready to organise an event that will be very well-planned, competitive and technology-driven. We thank the South Korean Embassy for their continued investment in the development of Taekwondo in Nigeria” he added.
