In the years 2000-2012 Viking Cup was a 2-day international event that gathered over the years participants from around 29 countries. Because of the complicated international situation, we decided to arrange this year's Viking Cup a little different. The difference is that basically it is a national competition for all age groups adapted to the rules of national requirements. Anyway, although there is national competition, we know today that there is also interest to participate in the event from other countries, so we expect participants from some foreign clubs too.

In other words, this year's Viking Cup 2016 will be a national event with the possibility for some competitors from other countries to participate. Please read the information below:

• The competition will be only during one day, Saturday the 2nd of April.
• Registration and weight-in will take place on Friday the 1st of April.
• The competition will be in the events pattern and sparring.
• The venue is sports hall “Arena Skövde”.
• Competitors from other countries than Sweden will be allowed to participate in the advanced division (red and black belt) for juniors (16-17 years old on the day of competition) and seniors.
• The organizing committee will not make any arrangements for transport or accommodation. The participants themselves are responsible for all bookings.For assistance in booking accommodation you can contact the Tourist Office in Skövde, e-mail: info@upplevskovde.se
