The World Karate Federation (WKF) has announced changes to its Karate 1-Premier League calendar because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The changes see the scheduled round in Lisbon, Portugal postponed and Istanbul in Turkey replace Baku in Azerbaijan as the venue for the opening round of the Karate 1-Premier League season.
The season is due to open in Istanbul between March 12 and 14, which is replacing Baku after the Government of Azerbaijan announced the event would have to be cancelled because of the coronavirus situation in the country.
The refereeing course that was due to take place alongside the Karate 1-Premier League round in Baku is also being transferred to Istanbul on the same dates.
