Techno 293 World Championships 2026

Foça will turn into a wind-powered festival of youth sport as the Techno 293 World Championships take place on April 3–9, 2026, in İzmir—bringing together the world’s next generation of windsurfing talent across multiple championship divisions: U13, Junior (U15), Youth (U17), Plus Youth (U19), and Plus (Open). With around 20 countries and roughly 400 athletes expected, this is set to be one of the most vibrant junior windsurfing gatherings on the calendar.

And the setting is the headline: Foça’s Aegean coastline is all bright light, clean horizons, and steady sea breeze energy—perfect for racing by day and slow, seaside discovery after. Between heats, travelers can lean into the region’s coastal charm, enjoy harborside cafés, and pair the championship atmosphere with the relaxed pace that makes İzmir a standout sports-tourism destination.
