Dear Friends,

Tomorrow the 8th Italian Cup will take place, and we would like to wish good luck to all the participants by sharing some shots (stage & photoshoot) from the last Benelux Cup 📸💫🇧🇪

(Full results of the Championships at: https://www.fnbb.online/10th-benelux-cup)

As always, the Competition was full of magic, bringing together athletes from different countries across Europe and featuring an incredibly high level of competition 🌍✨

This 10th edition has been especially meaningful for many of us, as it marked an important milestone: for the 10th year we were able to present to the world a very defined vision of the sport and of the human form — a vision that throughout the years has inspired many athletes and fans all around the world ©️🏛️

We are proud to have achieved this, and we look forward to seeing next Saturday a fair competition where art in movement will once again represent a true sport built on the highest values 🏆🇮🇹🔛

Official Statement – FNBB Europe/Italy

Since 2015, FNBB has promoted and safeguarded the culture of Natural physique sport by exclusively adopting WADA anti-doping tests and drawing inspiration from the classic canons of bodybuilding, with the aim of ensuring maximum transparency, sporting fairness, and the protection of athletes, also through our judging criteria.

We were recently contacted by ICN representatives with a concrete and constructive request for collaboration.

To this end, our board believes that, starting from shared core principles such as WADA anti-doping testing and a classical vision of bodybuilding, we can jointly guarantee a more complete and enriching experience for our athletes and industry professionals.

Over the past 10 years, we have always upheld our ideals and protected our athletes, writing unforgettable pages in the history of this sport together, and we are confident that we will continue to do so alongside the ICN team.

🗞️ FNBB NEWS 🗞️

🔥 The Quest for the Junior European Title 🔥

The stage is set for an epic battle! 🇧🇪🔛

Lukas Duna and Emanuele Esposito will face each other for the Junior European Championship, two young athletes ready to make history.

It’s truly inspiring to witness such a high level of bodybuilding among the youth.

The next generation is not only strong but also smart and dedicated: no shortcuts, no compromises, just pure passion for building that timeless classic look in a natural way.

We’re expecting fireworks on October 25th! 💥



💉🚫 ANTI-DOPING WADA

We’re very pleased to see that more and more fitness and bodybuilding organizations are finally trying to embrace WADA testing as a guarantee of fairness and integrity for their athletes.

When we started this journey back in 2015, this principle was one of the cornerstones on which we built our federation.

In those early days, the natural bodybuilding world often relied on questionable “truth machines” or private lab tests, methods that didn’t always ensure true transparency.

Today, we see a positive trend: more federations are following the same path of real, verified anti-doping control.

That makes us proud because the right way is finally getting more and more followers 💪🏼👌🏼

✨ 3 Weeks to Go – The 10th Edition of the ! ✨

Dear friends,
We are just 3 weeks away from the 10th Edition of our beloved international event, the ! 🏆🇧🇪

This year, we celebrate 10 incredible years of sport, adventure, adrenaline, art, and emotion — and we’ve captured it all in this special anniversary trailer, collecting the most memorable moments from every past championship. 🎬

Please note: With so much to prepare, we asked AI for a little help. It selected special frames from all past editions, chosen based on clicks, nationalities, age, gender, and categories — a unique lens on our shared journey. 💻✅

Over 9 editions, more than 350 athletes have graced the Finals stage in Belgium, embracing our mission with heart, courage, and determination. 🛡❤‍🔥

Since 2015, FNBB has worked tirelessly — without compromise — to promote the natural, classic physique we all believe in. 🌱🏛

Yesterday, as we looked through all the media materials coming in, one thought united us all:👉 What truly wonderful athletes we have had — every single one of you!
Champions declared by the jury, and those who weren’t, ALL OF YOU have shaped our story. 🥇🥈🥉

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank every athlete, coach, and supporter who has been part of this journey.
Without each of you, it simply wouldn’t have been the same. 🫶🏼

Seeing the human form celebrated in a classic, natural build, together with fewer than 5 positive-tested athletes in 10 years,
reminds us that you choose FNBB bringing your sacrifice, your discipline, and your passion to our mission consciously.
🙏🏼

The media we’ve produced over the years is breathtaking — truly — and it will forever inspire those who love natural bodybuilding. Here, you can take another taste of that beauty. 😎

So let’s enjoy this video… and let’s keep our focus: the 10th edition is on its way!Another great chapter in our history is about to unfold… 💫🔛
