Every year on April 6th, the global sports community unites to celebrate White Card Day, an initiative led by Peace & Sport to highlight the power of sport in fostering peace, unity, and social change. For decades, the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) has been at the forefront of this movement, using Muaythai as a tool to promote respect, inclusivity, and solidarity across borders.
Muaythai: A Sport for Peace
Muaythai is more than just a combat sport—it is a discipline rooted in respect, honor, and tradition. Through IFMA’s initiatives, Muaythai has been a force for good, bringing communities together and empowering youth worldwide. From refugee camps to underprivileged neighborhoods, IFMA has worked tirelessly to ensure that Muaythai is accessible to all, regardless of background or circumstance.
Through partnerships with organizations like Peace & Sport, UNESCO, and Generations for Peace, IFMA has championed programs that use Muaythai to bridge cultural divides, promote gender equality, and support social development. Whether through grassroots initiatives or international competitions, IFMA continues to uphold the belief that sport can be a catalyst for positive change.
White Card Day 2025: A Global Call for Unity
This year, White Card Day 2025 carries a powerful theme: “Sport as a Bridge for Peace”. The theme underscores the role of sports in uniting communities, fostering dialogue, and creating opportunities for reconciliation. Across the IFMA network, athletes, coaches, and federations will raise their White Cards in solidarity, reaffirming their commitment to using Muaythai as a tool for peace.
From youth development programs to anti-discrimination campaigns, IFMA continues to lead by example, ensuring that Muaythai remains a sport that uplifts, inspires, and unites. As we celebrate White Card Day 2025, we recognize the countless individuals who have contributed to this mission—proving that sport is not just about competition, but about building a better world.
