Taekwondo competitions at the 2023 European Games were held between 23 and 26 June 2023 at the Krynica-Zdrój Arena in Krynica-Zdrój.[1] Taekwondo returned to the European Games for the second time, after being part of the inaugural edition at Baku 2015, and the G4 grading of the competition meant that ranking points won by athletes counted for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games qualification.[2]
Athletes qualified by one of four routes. Firstly, in each class, the thirteen highest ranked European taekwodo-ka, respecting the limit of one per NOC per class were invited to compete. In addition, Poland as host got one taekwodo-ka in each class.
Athletes not yet selected, and whose NOCs who had not obtained a quota place in that class were able to fight for a spot at the European Games at a qualification tournament in Romania from 8 to 9 April. Finally, there was also a spot in each weight category reserved for a Universality place, which were awarded nearer the Games.[3][4]
