Dear ladies and gentlemen
Dear friends of Karate
From 17th to 18th of October 2015 the “Karate1 Premier League“ will be held in the city of
Salzburg. Once again there will be many athletes from all over the world participating in this great

Such major events can only be made possible with the help of all the volunteers of the Salzburg

I also want to thank the city of Salzburg and its mayor Dr. Heinz Schaden, the
Landessportorganisation Salzburg, our sponsors and the World Karate Federation (WKF), with
its president Antonio Espinos, which has once again honored us with the organisation of this

Finally, I wish all the competitors a pleasant stay in Salzburg as well as an exciting, successful
and most of all injury-free competition.
