Dear Friends,
On behalf of Karate Club Nikon and the Bulgarian National Karate Federation I would like to invite you to the “6. International Nikon Open” Karate Tournament, which will take place on 17th March 2018 in Sofia, Bulgaria.
For a seventh consecutive year, Karate Club Nikon is Bulgaria’s most successful Karate team. Our athletes won medals at the World, European & National Championships, Karate1 World Cups, Balkan Championships and many other international tournaments.
It will also be the sixth time that KC Nikon is hosting the biggest karate tournament in Bulgaria and one of the fastest growing karate events on the Balkan Peninsula – NIKON OPEN 2018!
Our aim has always been to combine an outstanding tournament management with personal care for all participants – for that very reason we were able to introduce some major improvements:
Being part of the official program of “Sofia- European Capital of sports 2018”, we will welcome you in a much bigger, more modern and centrally located Arena in Sofia – the “Asics Arena”!
Beyond that, for the first time we will use the “Sportdata” system for our registration, schedule and draws.
In the past five years we were able to attract many world class competitors, World and European Champions from countries such as Turkey, Germany, Russia, Serbia, Greece, Hungary, Botswana, Ukraine, Finland, Macedonia, Bosnia & Hercegovina and more. With categories for all age groups, our modern facilities and money awards, Nikon Open 2018 will make a further step on the way to become one of the biggest and best Karate tournaments at the Balkans!
In the first year of the qualification process for Tokyo 2020, we want to make our contribution to show the outstanding characteristics and values of our sport!
We hope that you will enjoy your stay in the European capital of sports 2018 and wish you good luck at our competition.
Yours sincerely,
Nikolay Tsanev
Organizer President of KC Nikon
