Koper, na Eslovênia, é a sede do Campeonato Mundial de Karatê, disputado de 22 a 25 de outubro. Entre os convocados da Seleção Brasileira está Matheus Araújo, 24 anos, faixa-preta nascido em Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, no Agreste pernambucano.
Os resultados vieram antes da convocação. Em setembro do ano passado, foi campeão brasileiro em Fortaleza. Em abril de 2026 voltou ao lugar mais alto do pódio, na primeira etapa do ano, realizada de 17 a 19 em Guararema, no interior paulista. Entre as duas conquistas, em novembro do ano passado, ficou com o vice no Pan-Americano de Natal.
Para o atleta, a convocação é a oportunidade de representar o Brasil, Pernambuco e a própria cidade num campeonato internacional. Matheus comemorou a presença na delegação e afirmou que seu objetivo principal é representar a nação da melhor forma possível.
