Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Karate Association (SKA) is making a return to the 4th Shureido International Karate Cup championship to be held at Gelanggang Olahraga Ciracas in West Jakarta, Indonesia starting on July 4.
SKA secretary general Julian Chin said on Tuesday that they will be represented by 83 athletes accompanied by nine coaches.
“The organisers are expecting more than 2,000 participants in the three-day competition. This will be a good opportunity for our athletes to gain experience against strong foreign opponents and hopefully they can give their best,” he said.
