Estonian Olympic Committee recognises MMA as a sport Friday, 7 May 2021
The Estonian Mixed Martial Arts Federation (EMMAF) has been accepted as a member of the Estonian Olympic Committee (EOC), with mixed martial arts (MMA) being recognised as a sport in Estonia.
EMMAF Board member Ott Tõnissaar expressed his delight after more than a decade of aiming for national recognition. I am pleased to say, that after more than 15 years of work we can say that we are here to stay, as the EMMAF yesterday became a fully-fledged member of the EOC, said Tõnissaar. This means that MMA is now a Government recognised sport in Estonia and the EMMAF is its sole, national representative.
