Donato Milano Steps Down as President of FK Federation Combat, Riccardo Bergamini to Take the Helm

The FK Federation Combat has announced a significant leadership transition, as Donato Milano steps down from his role as President. 

Milano, a pivotal figure in the expansion of Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Savate, Shoot Boxe, Sambo and MMA in Italy, and on the global stage, leaves behind a legacy of dedication and progress. Under his leadership, the federation played a crucial role in the development of martial arts, fostering new opportunities for athletes and strengthening the sport’s presence worldwide.

 IMMAF President Kerrith Brown had the following to say:

“On behalf of IMMAF, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Donato Milano for his unwavering dedication and remarkable contributions to the development of FK Federation Combat in Italy and on the global stage. In his role as FK Federation Combat, Donato has been instrumental in fostering growth, ensuring athlete development, and strengthening the sport’s foundations within his nation.”

“His tireless efforts and steadfast support have also been pivotal to IMMAF’s progress, and his legacy will continue to inspire our community. While he steps down from his position, his impact on the sport and our federation will undoubtedly endure. We thank Donato for his commitment and wish him the very best in his future endeavours and his continued support in international combat endeavours.”

Taking his place as the new President is Riccardo Bergamini, who has served as Federal Vice President for the past decade. Bergamini has been instrumental in shaping the federation’s direction, bringing vision and commitment to the advancement of combat sports. His extensive experience and deep understanding of the sport make him a natural successor to continue the momentum built under Milano’s tenure.

As the federation moves forward under new leadership, the focus remains on further developing combat sports and ensuring continued growth at both national and international levels. The contributions of Donato Milano will be remembered as a driving force behind the success and evolution of combat sports in Italy and beyond.
