The U23 World Cup will be held in tandem to provide more opportunities at high level international competitions to this developmental stage division to prepare young athletes towards the senior elite.

This year’s event will bring us back to Antalya, and this time to the district of Kemer, the gateway to Turkiye’s southern Mediterranean region, known as the Turquoise Coast for its blue waters.
Turkey once again will set the stage for what is sure to be another great tournament and event. We would like to thank the Turkish Muaythai Federation under the presidency of Mr. Hasan Yildiz who will give its famous Turkish welcome to the IFMA Muaythai teams. We are looking forward to seeing you in Kemer Antalya Turkiye, for the 2023 IFMA Youth World Championships!
Sincerely,
