June 6, 2026 — Bangkok, Thailand
On behalf of WBC MuayThai President, Major General Thanapol Bhakdibhumi, we are proud to introduce a new symbol of achievement for the future generation of our sport — the WBC MuayThai Rising Stars Series Accolade.
Created exclusively for youth MuayThai athletes, this prestigious ceremonial strap has been designed to recognize the dedication, commitment, sportsmanship, and accomplishments of the next generation of MuayThai stars competing in the newly launched WBC MuayThai Rising Stars Series.
The Rising Stars Series Accolade is not a professional championship title belt. Instead, it has been created specifically for young athletes, providing them with a meaningful and memorable reward as they progress through their MuayThai journey and pursue excellence in the sport.
Designed, inspired, crafted, and produced in Thailand — the motherland of MuayThai — the Rising Stars Series Accolade proudly reflects the rich heritage, traditions, and values that have made MuayThai one of the world’s most respected martial arts. Every detail has been carefully considered to honour the roots of the sport while celebrating its future.
The launch of the WBC MuayThai Rising Stars Series marks an exciting new chapter in youth MuayThai development. The series will provide a dedicated international platform for talented young athletes to showcase their skills, gain valuable experience, and pursue their dreams within a safe, structured, and prestigious environment.
The inaugural WBC MuayThai Rising Stars Series event will take place later this year, with London selected as the host city for the first edition. This landmark event will serve as the starting point for a global initiative aimed at identifying, developing, and celebrating the rising stars of MuayThai.
Through this new program, WBC MuayThai reaffirms its commitment to nurturing youth participation, preserving the traditions of MuayThai, and inspiring the next generation to carry the sport forward with pride.
The future is bright.
