New leadership at WKF Belgium!

WKF Europe’s continental federation has further strengthened its roster. Another strong European national team will compete at the World Championships in Colombia in October!

We now have a new WKF Belgium President, Mr. Fabrice DEBOIS, who has long been known in Europe as a manager and respected expert. His email address is: debois.f@hotmail.fr

If you are looking for top fighters for your next event, please contact Mr. Debois directly by email.

Here is a brief introduction:

Je pratique les sports de combat depuis de nombreuses années, notamment le kickboxing et le K-1. Actuellement, je suis secrétaire de la Fédération Alliance K-1 (FKA) et responsable de plusieurs organisations sportives en Belgique. Mon implication quotidienne dans le développement, l’entraînement et l’organisation d’événements sportifs m’a permis d’acquérir une solide expérience en administration et en sport.

Au fil des années, j’ai contribué à la création et au développement d’un réseau de clubs affiliés, à l’organisation d’événements nationaux et internationaux, et à la promotion de pratiques structurées, sûres et respectueuses des valeurs du sport.

Mon objectif a toujours été de faire progresser notre discipline avec dévouement, transparence et professionnalisme. Aujourd’hui, je souhaite mettre cette expérience au service de votre organisation afin de représenter et de développer votre fédération en Belgique.

Je suis convaincu de pouvoir contribuer activement à sa croissance, renforcer ses partenariats et organiser des événements de haut niveau répondant aux standards internationaux.

Avec engagement, dévouement et passion, je suis prêt à m’investir pleinement dans cette mission et à travailler en étroite collaboration avec vos équipes pour atteindre les objectifs fixés.
