WGA Members Approve Applications of 37th Federation

Kickboxing admitted to The World Games Family

BELEK (07/05/2013) The International World Games Association welcomes a new member federation into The World Games family. During the IWGA’s Annual General Meeting in Belek/Turkey on Monday, the delegates voted in favour of the admission of the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations (WAKO).

The application received the required simple majority of the votes of the 36 member federations present (22 votes). With that, The World Games family now includes 37 international sports federations. The new President of the IWGA José Perurena welcomed the new IWGA member.

The admission to the IWGA does not mean that this sport will be part of the official programme of the 10th edition in 2017, in Wroclaw, Poland. Kickboxing has applied to perform as an invitational sport at The World Games in Wroclaw. Subsequently, the federation can apply for participation in the official programme of The World Games 2021.

Ein weiterer Riesenschritt Richtung Olympia. Nachzulesen auch auf der Seite der International world games association unter http://www.theworldgames.org/news/news-of-the-world-games/1294-kickboxing-new-member
