2025 World Wushu Championships


The 2025 World Wushu Championships was the 17th edition of the World Wushu Championships. It was held in Brasília from August 31 September to 7, 2025.

Development and preparation

During the IWUF Congress at the 2023 World Wushu Championships in Fort Worth, United States, delegations from Brazil, the Philippines, and Macau presented proposals to host the next few World Wushu Championships. Brasília, Brazil won the bid to host the 17th edition of the world championships by unanimous decision. This would mark the first time that the World Wushu Championships would be held in Latin America, and the first time a major international wushu competition took place in South America since wushu's appearance at the 2013 World Games in Cali, Colombia. Previously Brazil hosted the 2018 World Junior Wushu Championships and the 2022 Pan American Wushu Championships.
