In brief

Athletica Vaticana will participate in the Taekwondo World Championships for the first time. This move follows a multiyear partnership between the Vatican sports organization and the Italian Taekwondo Federation.

Athletica Vaticana joined the world taekwondo federation in 2021. The relationship between the organizations grew more prominent in June when Pope Leo XIV received members of the international taekwondo community in St. Peter’s Square.
