“The World Taekwondo Federation is very interested to make the World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships in Mexico, we would be the second country in America to organize it, the requirements are not as stringent as those for Puebla, the date is set by us and we are planning it between September and November of next year.”
“It is also possible that Poomsae is included in the Central American and Caribbean Games, Veracruz 2014, Carlos Padilla informed us that it is very likely to be included as an official test,” said Lopez Delgado.
