The European Poomsae Championships is set to make a return to Austria, 30 years after the inaugural edition of the competition was held in the country.

In 1993 the western city of Wörgl held the event, with the Austrian Taekwondo Federation stepping up as hosts for the 16th edition of the Championships, scheduled for November 24 to 26.

The European Taekwondo Union (ETU) announced its return on its Facebook account.

"The ETU would like to express its gratitude to the Board of the Austrian Taekwondo Federation for the cooperation and willingness to 'Welcome Back' the event to Austria on November 24 to 26 2023."
