IFMA President Dr. Sakchye Tapsuwan has received the official letters from the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, and President of the Association of IOC Recognised Sports (ARISF) Raffaele Chiulli.

The letters of confirmation and congratulations have been received just shortly after the 138th IOC session unanimously voted on the approval of IFMA and Muaythai to be fully recognised by the IOC.
