The AGM brings together representatives from its national member federations to review organisational progress, discuss key governance matters and welcome new members to the IMMAF family.
The AGM opened with remarks from IMMAF President Kerrith Brown, who expressed his gratitude to the leaders of national federations for their continued support, commitment and contributions to the development of amateur mixed martial arts worldwide.
The IMMAF President also provided an update on IMMAF’s pursuit of international recognition through SportAccord, and the significance of this objective to the further development of global MMA.
Hosted by IMMAF CEO Densign White, the AGM addressed the key areas of organisational business, including review of the IMMAF’s financial records, proposed updates to statutes and matters relating to the structure of the IMMAF Board of Directors.
The highlight of the Assembly was the approval of new member associations by the full members in attendance, welcoming Kenya, Sweden and Colombia. The Assembly also approved the elevation of Ivory Coast to full IMMAF membership, marking another important step in the development of the sport within the country.
These approvals bring IMMAF’s global membership to 133 nations, reflecting the federation’s continued international growth and commitment to expanding opportunities for athletes and coaches around the world.
