BRAVE Combat Federation is set to further strengthen its position as the industry leader in Europe as the organization debuts in Austria with BRAVE CF 90 on November 23, at the Multiversum Schwechat in Vienna.
The event marks Austria as the 16th host nation in Europe for BRAVE Combat Federation which is a record unmatched by any other MMA organization in the world. BRAVE CF has so far hosted events in Northern Ireland, England, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, Russia, Belarus, Italy, Poland, Serbia, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Bulgaria and with its debut in Austria, BRAVE CF once again highlights its commitment towards the sport in the continent.
In fact, the relationship between BRAVE Combat Federation and Europe was strong even during the global pandemic. When the MMA ecosystem in Europe stood still during the pandemic, BRAVE CF was the only organization to host events on the continent. Now, in the post-pandemic years, BRAVE CF has doubled down on its commitment to European MMA with a long list of successful events.
In 2024, BRAVE CF debuted in the Netherlands and Bulgaria, including two events in the Netherlands that have sparked renewed interest in MMA within the nation’s renowned kickboxing community. Slovenia also hosted two events, with BRAVE CF 88 featuring two World Title fights. Leading up to its Austrian debut, BRAVE CF 89 took place in Spain, hosting the first-ever World Title fight on Spanish soil. Now, BRAVE CF is set to wrap up a historic year in Europe with BRAVE CF 90 in Austria with a fight card featuring the top talent from around the world.
Mohammed Shahid, President of BRAVE CF, expressed his enthusiasm for this milestone: “Our debut in Austria represents a monumental milestone for BRAVE Combat Federation as we expand our global footprint to the 35th country. This event not only showcases our commitment to mixed martial arts but also reinforces our mission to elevate the sport across Europe and beyond.”
Held in association with leading Austrian promotion Sparta CF, BRAVE CF 90 is bound to be the biggest MMA event on Austrian soil and will position MMA ideally to rise as the new national sport in the country like BRAVE CF has done in countries like Slovenia and Serbia.
