How to be invited to 2025 WPC Worlds Team Australia
We want to encourage our CAPO athletes to strive to compete at the biggest events around the world but still feel they are connected to CAPO.
CAPO Nationals are your pathway to the WPC World Championships which are held alternately between USA and the rest of the world.
2025 WPC Worlds will be held in Durban, South Africa from 3-9 November 2025.

- First place per age group / weight class / category at 2025 Nationals will have a place on the Team, BUT they need to confirm their intent to go within 7 days of Nationals.
- The category entered at Nationals will be the category for the Worlds team. This means if you wish to compete Raw at Worlds, then you must compete Raw at Nationals.
- Raw at WPC Worlds means bare knees. Sleeves are NOT permitted in Raw division at WPC Worlds.
- We are allowed a maximum of 3 lifters per age group/weight class/category, so there is plenty of space for a large team.
