The calendar details 15 tournaments running from Hoot to Dai, with specific dates, locations, categories and purposes outlined for each. It serves as a mandatory program approved by the federation's presidency, which all representatives must follow both nationwide and abroad.

Among the highlighted fixtures are the Ramadan Cup, set for 18-20 Hoot 1405 in Kabul, and the Red Flower Cup from 5-7 Saur 1405 in Mazar-e Sharif to commemorate Nikpai's accomplishments. Other events are scheduled in locations such as Kabul, Herat and Mazar-e Sharif, covering categories for different age groups and skill levels.

The federation's initiative aims to structure competitions systematically, ensuring consistent participation and progression in taekwondo across Afghanistan.
