Background
During the IWUF Congress at the 2019 World Wushu Championships, it was announced that the next edition of the WWC would be held in 2021 in Dallas, Texas, United States.[1][2] Shortly after, the COVID-19 pandemic spread internationally and numerous wushu competitions were postponed including the 2020 World Junior Wushu Championships and the 2020 Taolu World Cup (which was ultimately cancelled).[3][4] On July 15, 2021, the IWUF virtual congress postponed the 16th WWC to 2023.[5]
On September 15, 2022, the United States of America Wushu Kungfu Federation announced that the competition will take place in November 2023 at the Fort Worth Convention Center.[6] The official name of the competition, the "16th World Wushu Championships," was renamed to the "HYX 16th World Wushu Championships" to reflect the IWUF's financial partnership with the Hengyuanxiang (HYX) Group which began in early 2018.[7] The logo and theme for the competition were unveiled on November 16, 2022.[8]
