Update on price changes to GAL/GOL licences implemented by World Taekwondo.

Previously there has been a reduced fee for all members who require a GAL licence under the age of 12 years old. World Taekwondo have now made all GAL and GOL licences the same price, there is no longer a reduced GAL fee for under 12’s.

We have therefore had to adjust our current British Taekwondo GAL/GOL prices in line with World Taekwondo’s new GAL/GOL prices.

With immediate effect all GAL/GOL licences are £40. There is no price change for members over the age of 12 years old.

Do I need a Global Athlete/Officials Licence (GAL/GOL)?

Members wishing to participate at any World Taekwondo and European Taekwondo promoted/sanctioned events, will require a World Taekwondo GAL licence. This applies to all athletes (cadets, juniors and seniors) for both Kyorugi and Poomsae events.

Please note: Any British Taekwondo members/coaches/officials wishing to participate at any of the events stated above MUST have a World Taekwondo GAL/GOL licence.

How do I apply for a GAL/GOL licence?

British Taekwondo apply for GAL/GOL licences on behalf of British Taekwondo members and coaches. All applications must be submitted through a British Taekwondo affiliated club, via the lead coach/secretary (the member/ parent will not be able to apply to British Taekwondo directly). GAL/GOL licences are £40 each for one year. This cost will include the World Taekwondo Global Membership and World Taekwondo Global Licence.
