The global Muaythai family joins together to honour and celebrate the 87th birthday of our beloved President, Dr Sakchye Tapsuwan.
For decades, Dr Sakchye has stood as a guardian of our sport, guiding Muaythai from its traditional roots to its proud place within the Olympic Movement. His steady leadership, deep cultural wisdom, and lifelong dedication have shaped IFMA into the international federation it is today.
Every ring, every athlete, every official, and every young practitioner who bows in with respect is part of the legacy he has helped build. His vision has carried Muaythai across continents, and his gentle strength continues to inspire all of us.
On behalf of the entire IFMA family around the world, we extend our warmest wishes to Dr Sakchye on this special milestone. We thank him for his unwavering service, his kindness, and his continued passion for nurturing the next generation.
Happy 87th Birthday, Dr Sakchye.
May the year ahead bring health, joy, and many more memorable moments with the Muaythai family he has guided for a lifetime.
