Since December 1, 2025, we have a new, highly dedicated president and a new leadership team for WKF USA within our world federation.
Alexandr VARVARENCO, WKF USA
Mr. Varvarenco looks forward to hearing from you by E-mail and to our global collaboration. We will be publishing the first US dates online shortly. Of course, we will once again welcome a strong and large US team – both men and women – to the World Championships in Colombia in October 2025.
My name is Alexandr VARVARENCO, and I am the President of WKF USA. I am a highly experienced kickboxing coach and sports professional with a higher education in Physical Culture and Sports, specializing as a trainer-teacher.
I was born and trained in Tiraspol, Moldova, at the Boeс Sports Club. During my competitive career, I became a champion of Transnistria and Moldova, a medalist in international tournaments, silver medalist of the WAKO World Cup, and professional champion of Ukraine under WKA.
During 9 years of coaching in Transnistria, I continued to represent Boeс Sports Club, was appointed head coach, and trained athletes who became national and international champions, including a European champion and silver medalists of the World Cup and European Championships. For my contribution to sports, I was awarded the “Excellence in Physical Culture and Sports” distinction and recognized as Best Coach of 2020.
TEAM WKF USA
After moving to the USA, I founded GOLDEN EAGLE FIGHTING CLUB in West Sacramento, California, where over 2 years my students achieved: • Multiple 1st places in California (IKF) • 1st places at the USA Championship (WKA) • Silver medals at the USA Championship (ISKA)
As President of WKF USA, I am committed to developing kickboxing in the United States, organizing high-level competitions, and nurturing the next generation of champions through professional training and athlete development.
It is with deep sadness and sorrow that we announce the unexpected loss of one of our World Vice Presidents of the WKF.
Our friend, Rodrigo, has passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.
This sudden and great loss of my personal friend, president of WKF CHILE, continental director of the WKF Latin America and the Caribbean and thus one of 6 world federation vice presidents, is almost impossible to describe in words.
I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Rodrigo several times around the world. He always had a kind word and was always top-notch as an official in the ring and as a supervisor.
Carlos SUAREZ, Fritz EXENBERGER, Rodrigo MINO SILVA, Louis MEDIOMUNDO
As LAC Continental Director, he was also heavily involved in organizing the upcoming World Championship in Colombia in October 2026.
We at the WKF – World Kickboxing Federation – are deeply saddened. Our thoughts are with his family, all his friends in Chile, and everyone who knew Rodrigo.
Dear Rodrigo, just two days before Christmas, your laughter, your kindness, and your professionalism have been silenced forever.
Supervisor Ivan Vasilievich DERKACHENKO / BLR and WKF General Secretary Roman LOGISCH / GER
