Our Winter Championships isn’t the only cheerleading championship taking place this weekend. Thailand will be hosting the 7th Cheerleading World Championships (CWC) in Bangkok.

The country has already hosted the major international competition multiple times and cheerleading as a sport is held in high regard by the Thai authorities because it improves both physical and mental fitness of young people. The high standard they host the competition has secured them this year’s championship from the International Federation of Cheerleading.

It is predicted that this year’s event will be the biggest Cheerleading World Championships in history. With many of the best athletes from all over the world converging on the Kingdom of Thailand at the Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, to represent their respective countries. These athletes who have trained long and hard hours will represent their respective countries in a competition for cheerleading perfection.

And we are proud to announce that the UK have their own entry heading out for the competition.

Team UK, made up of 35 members from several teams will be travelling out to the Thai capital with UKCA representative Coach Hannah Jones. We wish Hannah and the team the best of luck out there and want them to know that “We are proud of you. Say we are proud of you”.

We’ll be tracking the team’s journey and experience at the CWC on our Facebook and Twitter feeds so keep a look out for their progress.
