In preparation for the 2007 IFMA World Championships, to be held from 27th November to 5th December in Bangkok, Thailand in honour of HM the King of Thailand's 80th birthday, the Latvian Federation of Thai Boxing held the Muaythai Unity Open Cup, sanctioned by IFMA, before a packed venue of excited spectators.
 
The tournament was an outstanding success, and part of the selection process for the official Latvian team.

The WMC and IFMA are looking forward to welcoming Latvia and all 100 countries to compete in the biggest Muaythai event ever staged.
