The final day of the IFMA European Championships 2025 in Athens brought the entire European Muaythai family together for a full day of Medal Ceremonies — beginning with the ParaS awards and concluding with the prestigious Senior Elite presentations. It was a celebration of athletic excellence, inclusion, and the values that define Muaythai under IFMA.

ParaS Medal Ceremonies — Setting the Tone

The day began with the ParaS medal ceremonies, which opened the celebrations with emotion and pride. Para and Special athletes from Greece and Hungary received their medals in a fully staged ceremony, reinforcing IFMA’s core principle: Muaythai is for every body. Each award was presented with the same honour, protocol, and respect as the senior elite medals later in the day — reflecting IFMA’s commitment to true inclusivity.

Senior Elite Medal Ceremonies — Europe’s Best Crowned

As the final bouts concluded, the Senior Elite divisions took centre stage. With the arena packed and energy high, champions across the continent stepped onto the podium as their flags were raised and anthems played.

Athletes from 39 federations were represented across Elite, U23, Youth, and Cultural categories, and the medal standings offered a powerful snapshot of Muaythai’s development across Europe.

According to the official standings:

  • The Russian Muaythai Federation (RMF) dominated the medal table with 85 total medals and a 74% win rate — the highest of the Championships.
  • Ukraine followed with 35 medals and an impressive 67% win rate.
  • Host nation Greece delivered a strong overall campaign with 44 medals, boosted by home-crowd momentum.
  • The Belarus Kickboxing & Muaythai Federation (BKMTF) displayed exceptional efficiency — 20 medals with a 76% win rate, one of the highest in the competition.
  • Poland, Türkiye, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, and Croatia rounded out the top 10, each earning multiple golds across Elite, U23, and Youth divisions.

The middle tier of the rankings reflected extraordinary diversity, with medal winners from:
Spain, France, Lithuania, Slovakia, Moldova, Portugal, Belgium, United Kingdom, Sweden, Georgia, Denmark, Azerbaijan, Italy, and the Israel Muaythai Federation (ISMA) — all represented on the podium.

Among the most inspiring stories was the success of the Refugee Muaythai Team (EMR), who earned five medals, demonstrating courage, resilience, and the unifying power of sport.
