After parting ways with the NPC and IFBB Pro League run by Jim Manion, the IFBB International has decided to reassume its professional activities under the banner of IFBB Elite Pro League.

The future of the Arnold Classic Events are uncertain since the break-up between the IFBB Pro League/National Physique Committee (NPC) and the IFBB International.

Recently, Tony Doherty the promoter of the Arnold Classic in Australia has confirmed that his show will be sanctioned by the IFBB Pro League/NPC.

IFBB Pro League Announcement


Tony said this was a hard decision but he has made a business decision to have his show sanctioned by the IFBB Pro League/NPC.

Moments after Tony Doherty confirming the IFBB Pro League will run his show, The Arnold Africa committee has decided the IFBB Elite Pro League is the way forward.

According to Wayne Price, IFBB President of South Africa, the Arnold Classic Africa will remain with the IFBB International and the newly established IFBB Elite Pro League.

“No, the Arnold Classic Africa is not an NPC event and is not a qualifier for Pro League cards. The Arnold Classic Africa will be a qualifier for the IFBB Elite Pro cards.

Today in a Facebook post, Wayne Price confirmed that after a meeting with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the show will be an IFBB International/IFBB Pro Elite show.

Official comment on Arnold Classic Africa – Amateur and Pro Bodybuilding:
