Unmatched WKF India 2026 Event Service & Fighter Welfare:
The success of the 2026 Nationals was largely due to the “Athlete First” approach taken by the World Kickboxing Federation (WKF) and the International Combat Federation (ICF). The Organizers provided an extensive support system that allowed fighters to focus entirely on their performance.
Comprehensive Hospitality: All 480 athletes were provided with two days of high-quality room accommodations, ensuring they were well-rested for their bouts.
Nutrition & Hydration: Full catering (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and a constant supply of water were provided for both days of the event.
Medical Safety Net: A professional medical team provided full-time on-site assistance. Remarkably, the organizers also provided Casualties Cash Support, offering direct financial aid for any injury-related emergencies—a significant step forward for fighter safety in India.
Official Recognition: Beyond the prestigious Over-all Champions Trojans Trophy, every high-achieving athlete was honored with official Medals and Certificates to mark their qualification and participation.
A Launchpad for Global Success: With the conclusion of this great WKF India Event, the top fighters from the Trojans, Golden’s MMA, and other participating Clubs have paved their way toward the WKF World Championships, held later this year in late October 2026. The massive turnout of 50 Clubs at this prestigious Event proves that the infrastructure for Amateur and Professional Kickboxing in India is stronger than ever.
WKF India is in contention to Hosting the upcoming WKF Amateur World Kickboxing Championships, biding with Africa, Latin America and other Asia Nations. WKF India President Mr Shyam Prithviraj is ticking all the boxes to success. We are looking forward to seeing more WKF India “FIGHT ACTION”! WELL DONE WKF INDIA!
