Cyprus MMA Federation is Accepted by IMMAF

The Cyprus MMA Federation (CMMAF) has been approved as an observational member of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation.

Based in Limassol, the CMMAF was founded in 2012 to support the development of and to promote Cyprus’ MMA athletes. The federation is managed by representative coaches from each member gym and club whose decisions and proposals are then evaluated by the organisation’s President and Board of Directors. The CMMAF has organised national championships and participation in international events, in which Cyprus’ national MMA team has achieved awards.

The CMMAF is formally recognised by the Cyprus government and by the Cyprus Sports Organisation (CSO), which sponsors its national team and events.

CMMAF President, Mr. Stefanos Charalampous, said:

"We are a young federation and we strive to do our best by our members and athletes. Our goal is to make this beautiful sport better recognised in our country and help our athletes progress in the right way. It is an honour and a privilege for our federation to be a part of IMMAF"
