Karate Scotland International Open brings an open competition date to Motherwell

Karate Scotland’s International Open Championship is scheduled for Sunday 20 September 2026 at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in Motherwell. The date and venue are listed in the Scottish Karate-Do Federation’s public events calendar, which identifies the championship as a Karate Scotland event.

The calendar says athletes are welcome to enter the Scottish Grand Prix Karate Championships and advises competitors to speak to their sensei about entry. It does not publish a confirmed competitor list, draws, results or a detailed running order, so those details should be checked with the organisers or a participating club.

An event listing on the English Karate Federation site gives the same date and venue and describes the open as a chance for rising athletes to test their preparation through competition and gain valuable mat time. The listing also calls on athletes and coaches to uphold sportsmanship throughout the championships.

For families and club members planning around the weekend, the practical takeaway is that Motherwell is hosting a cross-club open rather than a published results story. Karate Scotland’s calendar is the best place to confirm the event listing, while athletes should use their own club or the organisers for entry and participation details.
