About Us

The National Capoeira Association of Canada is the official organization dedicated to the development, regulation, and promotion of Capoeira as a competitive sport across Canada.

As a proud member of the International Capoeira Federation (ICF), we work in alignment with global standards to elevate Capoeira to the international stage, including its recognition as an Olympic sport. Our mission is to support athletes, schools, and communities by providing opportunities for structured competition, coaching development, and cultural exchange.

We believe in the unique power of Capoeira to unite people through movement, music, and discipline. Our programs focus on:

• Organizing national and regional Capoeira tournaments
• Promoting standardized rules for sport Capoeira competitions
• Training and certifying referees and coaches
• Supporting Canadian athletes in international events
• Preserving the Afro-Brazilian heritage of Capoeira while advancing its evolution as a modern sport

Through our affiliation with the International Capoeira Federation, we aim to ensure that Canada plays a meaningful role in the global Capoeira movement.

Join us in building a future where Capoeira is not only an art form but also a respected and accessible sport for all Canadians.
