The Mauritius – Federation de Muay-Thai et Disciplines Assimilees recently welcomed Daniel Norrgard from the Organising Committee of the 2016 IFMA World Championships. The President of the Mauritian Muaythai NF and IFMA Executive Board member Sham Seetaram jumped on the opportunity to gather the local press and the National TV to promote IFMA and the upcoming World Championships.  The National NF really appreciated the visit/exchange and it was a BIG opportunity to raise the awareness of Muaythai in Mauritius and the news had spread locally and regionally. 

Topics such as youth development, social responsibilities, sustainability and of course the sport’s application for IOC recognition were discussed and Mr Norrgard to the opportunity to present the World Championships to the Indian Ocean Region.
