OFFICIAL SPONSORS ARE MUSCLE FINESSE SWANSEA
I am very honoured to take over from former U.K President Martyn Yates Brown. Martyn built the U.K Federation over 14 years and took it from strength to strength. All good things come to an end and I have picked up where he left off.
I wanted to improve things so i added the Mixed standing/ walking disability class also women`s wellness as i feel everyone should be able to compete. I have so much passion for bodybuilding as i have been competing over 20 years so i know exactly what athletes want and how to improve things for the better. The Britain finals were held in Blackpool October 26th 2025 a more central location . The event was a huge success with over 120 athletes and a sellout audience sponsored by Muscle Finesse.
We will be looking for class sponsors so please get in touch if you would like to be involved in any shows. 2026 is the continuation of great things for the IBFA so buckle up for a great year. See you all soon -
IBFA UK PRESIDENT - MATTHEW ALI
