The International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) is set to return to Luanda, Angola, for the 2025 IMMAF Africa Championships, bringing together the continent’s top amateur talent for a landmark event.
Following the success of the 2024 IMMAF World Championships, where African athletes made history, this championship will continue to highlight the rising talent shaping the future of MMA.
This event introduces two new divisions to the African stage for the first time. Youth D (10-11) athletes will have the opportunity to test their skills at the highest level, while the highly anticipated Masters divisions make their highly anticipated IMMAF debut.
Last year’s World Championships saw Maria Kitoko (Angola) and Kiara Fegen (South Africa) claim gold, further demonstarting the rapid development of African MMA. The 2025 IMMAF Africa Championships will build on that momentum, offering the next wave of talent a global platform to shine.
Taking place at Pavilhão Multiusos do Kilamba, this six-day event will bring together Africa’s finest amateur competitors in an environment that celebrates skill, determination, and sportsmanship.
IMMAF President Kerrith Brown on the 2025 IMMAF Africa Championships:
“We are delighted to be back in Angola to once again showcase the incredible growth of Mixed Martial
Arts across Africa, bringing the IMMAF pathway to the continent’s most talented athletes competing at the
highest amateur level. Africa continues to be a driving force for IMMAF in the global MMA landscape, showcasing grassroots talent with spirit, dedication, resilience, and sportsmanship, enabling all to test their skills, gain international recognition, and take the next steps in their athletic development.
For all athletes and those who stand behind them, this is the time to shine and compete with pride and respect.”
