A third special guest was Pernilla Johansson from the Frysbox Project and Swedish Muaythai Federation.
The first topic was “IF/NF Responsibilities and Goals” presented by IFMA General Secretary Stephan Fox, who opened the event.
After a brief video presentation about IFMA, the General Secretary moved on to cover topics such as IFMA’s place in SportAccord, its participation in multi-sports Games, Muaythai values, IFMA’s stakeholders, and strategic goals.
