The Ukrainian team brought home an impressive 49 medals:

🥇 12 gold

🥈 18 silver

🥉 19 bronze

We were honoured to support our athletes throughout the competition and share the joy of their victories. It was especially rewarding to see the Ukrainian flag on the podium here in Abu Dhabi — and to know how much hard work stands behind every one of these medals. 💙💛

Ambassador of Ukraine to the UAE Dr Oleksandr Balanutsa was pleased to welcome Serhii Samoilenko, President of the National MMA Federation of Ukraine, to the Embassy. They spoke about the achievements of our athletes, the development of Ukrainian MMA and new opportunities to promote it in the UAE.

49 medals at a World Championship is an achievement to be truly proud of.

Especially today. Despite the war, difficult training conditions and all the challenges Ukraine continues to face, our young athletes keep training, competing, winning and proudly representing Ukraine on the international stage.

Our sincere thanks to the athletes, coaches and the entire team for these unforgettable moments and for raising the Ukrainian flag on the world sporting stage.

We are proud of you and wish you many more victories ahead!
