This year, Querétaro will witness a groundbreaking event: the Pan American U-21 Championships, scheduled from July 25 to 28.
This championship will not only be a competitive taekwondo event but also stands as an essential prelude to the Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay, set to take place in 2025. Both events are designed for athletes under 21, solidifying a unique opportunity for young talents to showcase their skills and prepare for greater challenges.

An important feature of this event is that the Pan American U-21 Championships in Querétaro is open to all Member National Associations (MNA) in the region, with no limit on participation per country. As long as they fulfill the regular requirements for PATU event registration, a diverse participation is expected, reflecting the richness and talent of the Pan American region.
Expectation grows as the Pan American U-21 Championships in Querétaro approaches. The eyes of the continent will be on these young talents who, through their performance in this event, will not only seek Pan American glory but also moving forward to higher goals in the international panorama of Junior taekwondo events.
In summary, the Pan American U-21 Championships in Querétaro emerges as a crucial catapult in preparing athletes for the Junior Pan American Games of Asunción 2025, within the age groups that fall within the framework of the upcoming and renowned Pan American Junior Games 2025.
