The Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand made a special appearance to visit and support the IFMA athletes. Governor Doctor Gongsak Yodmani took the opportunity to go behind the scenes to greet the IFMA athletes from around the world and took time out to discuss and listen to their hopes and dreams.
The Governor was especially impressed with the efforts IFMA has been working on in regard to athletes and refugees from Afghanistan and Syria and also ensuring that Ukraine can participate. The Governor once again confirmed in person to the IFMA athletes that the Kingdom of Thailand is in full support of IFMA as the sole IOC-recognised organisation.
