It is a pleasure for me and for the Federation I am  honored to chair to greet all the athletes of the  “Karate 1 Youth League”, which from 14 to 16
December 2018 will liven up Caorle, one of the most beautiful historical seafaring villages of Italy.
    Veneto region, with its enchanting Venice and  particularly with the city of Caorle, has always been  a land of sports and hospitality, as the great number of previous events, within the famous Venice Cup, can demonstrate.
   The news represented by the “Karate 1 Youth League” is big. The aim is to involve young  athletes in the scenery of international high- level competitions. That means building a bridge towards the future of this beautiful sport, which in Tokyo 2020 will wear for the first
time the Olympic uniform. Our young karate competitors start today thanks to this event  their way to the high technical level, and I am sure that this will be an important steppingstone  for their future.
I would like to thank all the people who worked hard for making alive this prestigious sport  event: in particular the athletes, the instructors, the various associations and the families.
But I would also like to thank the audience that constantly support and take part in this  important event.
We must not forget to acknowledge who works behind the scenes, the Organizing  Committee, the President Vladi Vardiero, the Multisport Veneto Association, who worked  with passion and dedication in order to organize this project.
   I also thank the city Council of Caorle, special guest of these Karate events since ever, for its kindness and collaboration.
I wish you all to enjoy this prestigious sport event, therefore “Karate I Caorle Youth League”   will surely be a special occasion to honor and strengthen this beautiful sport in Italy and   throughout the world.
