The popularity of muaythai speaks for itself with so many activities and events; many organised by organisations within the Olympic movements such as IWGA, SportAccord, FISU or OCA, however, IFMA ensures that the national federations in the host countries of these events are involved to ensure the programme for side-activities are up to scratch.
