2024 is the year marking the MMA to be put into the high -performance sports competition system of Vietnam. Besides the Lion Championship playground, MMA boxers will have the opportunity to compete at the National Championship. This is the basis for selecting the team to compete in international MMA tournaments in the near future.
On international scale, in 2024, MMA will witness 2 world championship tournaments for amateur fighters. The first is the tournament organized by the global martial arts association (Gamma). This tournament takes place from December 6 to December 15 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The 2nd World MMA tournament was organized by the International Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF). The tournament is scheduled to take place in October in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Theoretically, in the case of establishing a national team, Vietnam may send fighters to play in the IMMAF tournament.
Currently, MMA subject management unit in Vietnam, both in high -performance sports and professional sports categories, is the Vietnam General Martial Arts Federation (VMMAF). This unit is a member of IMMAF, so it is possible to send fighters to play in the tournament within the IMMAF.
