President Rick W. Shin of Kombat Global held a productive meeting today in Phnom Penh with Major General Khov Chhay, President of the Kun Khmer Federation and Secretary General of the Royal Cambodia Armed Forces Sport Council, as part of ongoing international expansion efforts. Discussions centered on the growth of combat sports and the potential for future collaboration internationally, aligning with Kombat Global’s broader strategy to expand its global footprint across Asia and key international markets.
President Rick W. Shin’s visit included venue inspections and assessments of facilities in Cambodia as part of Kombat Global’s ongoing evaluation of potential host cities. The visit also highlighted the cultural importance of Kun Khmer, Cambodia’s historic national martial art, which represents an important part of the nation’s cultural identity and martial arts heritage.
Kombat Global broadcasts reach audiences across multiple regions through leading international media platforms, helping to promote martial arts culture, sports diplomacy, and market engagement. Professional combat sports events of this scale have demonstrated strong potential to drive sports tourism and local economic benefits for host nations.
“Kombat Global is currently evaluating Cambodia as a destination for future professional combat sports events,” said President Rick W. Shin. “Cambodia represents a dynamic and emerging market with strong martial arts heritage, making it a promising candidate for international collaboration.”
“Kun Khmer is a cornerstone of Cambodia’s cultural and martial arts heritage, and international cooperation is an important step toward enhancing its global recognition within the international combat sports community,” stated Major General Khov Chhay.
Kombat Global continues to evaluate Cambodia as a potential host for future professional combat sports events, alongside additional major international cities currently under consideration for inclusion in a future global event circuit.
