WOW FC 30 | May 22, 2026

WOW FC announces that WOW 30 will take place at Sagres Campo Pequeno in Lisbon on May 22nd . This will be the organization's fifth event in 2026 and marks its large-scale debut in Portugal.

The arrival in Lisbon comes at a particularly relevant moment for the promoter. WOW 29, held in Valencia, set a new attendance record for an MMA event in Western Europe, bringing together more than 14,000 spectators at the Roig Arena . More than just an impressive number, this milestone consolidated WOW FC's position as one of the leading names in the European MMA scene. Ilia Topuria, two-time world champion and partner in the organization, highlighted this growth by stating, at the press conference after the event, that "WOW FC is already the second best MMA promoter in the world".

Given this context, the expansion into Portugal comes naturally. The country holds special significance for the project, being the home of Cristiano Ronaldo, another prominent name associated with WOW FC. Hosting the first major international event of the season on Portuguese soil reinforces this connection and adds a symbolic dimension to the choice of Lisbon as the venue.

WOW 30 promises a high-level lineup, bringing together some of the top national and international names in mixed martial arts. Details of the fights will be announced in the coming days, building anticipation for what promises to be a memorable night.

Following its successes in cities like Bilbao, Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia, WOW FC now arrives in Lisbon, propelled by a historic season and with the ambition to continue raising the bar for MMA in Southern Europe. The Sagres Campo Pequeno arena, with a capacity of over 7,000 spectators, will be the stage for the next chapter in this clearly upward trajectory.
