The International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA), proudly recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to athlete development at both national and continental levels. As part of this mission, the African Muaythai Championships remain a cornerstone in promoting sporting excellence and growth across the continent.
These championships play a pivotal role—not only in nurturing competitive spirit and athletic performance—but also in offering African athletes the opportunity to qualify for IOC-recognized multi-sport events. It is a platform where the continent’s finest can test their skills at the highest level and proudly represent their nations.
At the heart of IFMA’s mission lies the principle of equality. Ensuring fair opportunity for all nations—especially those with fewer resources—is essential. IFMA remains steadfast in its commitment to equitable sports development and the expansion of Muaythai throughout Africa.
IFMA President Dr. Sakcuche reaffirmed the immense talent and potential within African nations, emphasizing the importance of sustained investment in youth and sports. The 2025 African Championships are not only a celebration of athletic achievement but also a powerful tool for cultural, educational, and social exchange.
The capital city of Libya is now buzzing with excitement as teams from across the continent arrive for this historic event. The arrival of athletes marks a significant moment in African Muaythai, as the continent comes together in unity and competitive spirit.

He emphasized the nation’s pride in playing a central role in advancing the sport, highlighting Libya’s rich tradition in combat sports and its readiness to welcome Africa’s top athletes.
This event marks another milestone in the journey of African Muaythai, as Libya prepares to host a celebration of athleticism, unity, and progress.
