ABOUT EFA
EFA Championship (Elite Fighting Arena) is a Bulgarian combat sports promotion based in Sofia. In our ring, elite fighters from Bulgaria and around the world meet under Muay Thai and kickboxing rules. Our mission is to build a world-class stage for fighters and combat sports fans in Bulgaria.
The first fight night, on 21 March 2026 at the Tenta Event Center, streamed live on Sportal.bg and crowned EFA's first champion, Martin Koprivlenski. On 3 October EFA Championship 2 drew 2,000 fans to the ASICS Arena and aired live on NOVA SPORT, and Simeon Nakovski became WKN world champion in our ring. EFA Championship 3 is next.

The people behind the fight
Behind every big fight night is a team that starts working long before the lights come on. Five people, one vision, one stage.
Operations Director
Antonio
"My job is to make everything backstage run like clockwork. When the audience sees a show, I want to know there is flawless organisation behind it."
Matchmaker
Mario
"The most important thing is to make fights people keep talking about after the final bell. We look for match-ups that bring emotion, tension and a real fight."
Founder and face of EFA
