"VAN" (Sports Desk - 05.12.2025) :: The IWGA proudly names Portugal’s Catarina Dias as Athlete of the Month for November 2025 — a recognition capping a year of unprecedented triumphs for the 27-year-old fighter from Ginásio Clube Mirandelense (GCM). Dias was crowned WAKO Kickboxing World Champion in the K1 -70kg division in Abu Dhabi after defeating Serbia’s Aleksandra Krstic in a powerful final performance last month. Her world title came just months after her gold medal victory at The World Games 2025 in Chengdu. For a fighter who embarked on her journey from the small town of Gralhós and has represented her club for over a decade, these milestones are both career-defining and deeply personal.
