Muaythai Included in TAFISA Sport for All Games, Under the Patronage of the IOC

After inclusion in GAISF and 102 countries participating in this year’s IFMA World Championships, Muaythai has taken another important step within the Olympic and sporting family.

The sport of Muaythai has been included in the TAFISA Sport for All Games from 26th September to 2nd October 2008 in Busan, Korea and IFMA has been given permission to stage the 2008 Muaythai World Championships as part of these Games, which are under the patronage of the IOC. This is a truly historic moment for IFMA and Muaythai.

Invitations to the 2008 World Championships will be sent out via the Organizing Committee direct to all Olympic Committees around the world. IFMA will continue to work exclusively with National Federations which are either recognized by their National Olympic Committee of highest sport authority or are in the correct process of obtaining recognition, ensuring the highest standards are maintained.
