Maltese taekwondo was represented on one of the Mediterranean region’s biggest sporting stages as 17-year-old Alycia Cassar competed in the Women’s -67kg category at the XX Mediterranean Games – Taranto 2026, accompanied by her coach, Gianluca Barbara.

The Malta Taekwondo Association’s “Taekwondo for Turtles – Kicking for a Greener Future” initiative has concluded on a high note, with Malta’s Taekwondo community not only exceeding its original fundraising target, but also getting a first-hand look at the wildlife rehabilitation work their contributions are helping to support.

On Saturday, 22 August 2026 at 11:30 a.m., members of the Taekwondo community will have the opportunity to visit Nature Trust Malta at Xrobb l-Għaġin.
