1st EMC & WMF Amateur Muaythai European Championships
The World Muaythai Federation (WMF), which is currently the only international amateur Muaythai body, has authorized the Czech Muaythai Federation, the legitimate WMF member since this year’s 7 April, when the president of CMF Sir Marek Attila Janecek became the only WMF representative in the Czech Republic, to organize the 1st EMC & WMF Amateur Muaythai European Championships.
The 1st EMC & WMF Amateur Muaythai European Championships will take a place in the BC Sparta Praha hall from 17 to 24 October 2004.
To participate in the competition were invited 19 European countries, namely the
Czech Republic, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Croatia, Russia, Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, Netherlands and as a guest also Israel.
For the EMC European Champion title will participating fighters compete in
14 male and 10 female weigh categories. The fights will be run under the WMF and AMAT Muaythai rules and within the competition will be held training and examination of referees, who will after
the successfully passed exams gain the international referee qualification.
Next to the distinguished representatives of the European Muaythai Confederation
(EMC) will attend the Championships as well the VIP guests from Thailand, including the WMF Vice-President and the AMAT President, Senator Santiphap Intraraphartn, and the WMF General Secretary,
Colonel Nopporn Sutthent, who will make a speech at both opening and closing solemn ceremonies.
We believe that organizing of the Amateur Muaythai European Championships, where the elite European amateur Muaythai fighters will be presented to the general public, will not only contribute to the growth of the popularization of this sport in our country as well as abroad, but also become the next step on the way to achieve the recognition of the Muaythai sport as the Olympic sport.
