The Moroccan SAMBO Championship was held in Casablanca

The Moroccan National SAMBO Championship was held on February 23 in Casablanca. Medals in Sport and Combat SAMBO were awarded in the indoor hall of the Ain Chock sports complex. Sambists from all regions of the country took part in the tournament, which was organized by the Royal Moroccan Federation of SAMBO and Tai-Jitsu.

According to the national federation, 220 sambists from various sports clubs in Morocco took part in the championship. As noted by the organizing committee of the competition, during the bouts, many athletes demonstrated a wide variety of styles and techniques, which confirmed the growth of the skill level of Moroccan sambists. An additional incentive for the participants was the support of the stands, which motivated the athletes to show their best during the competition.

The Royal Moroccan Federation of SAMBO and Tai-Jitsu reported that the national championship was a qualifying tournament for the formation of the Moroccan team for the upcoming international competitions, the next of which should be the African Championships in Guinea.

"The championship showed that the athletes worked hard in training to improve their skills, which made the competition very competitive. We saw a large number of well-trained SAMBO athletes who can qualify for the Moroccan national team," the national SAMBO federation said.

The winners of the championship were awarded with the medals and certificates. The award ceremony was attended by the President of the Royal Moroccan Federation of SAMBO and Tai-Jitsu Dalil Skalli, the national technical director Mohamed Aberouz, the Presidents of the Leagues and all the federal members as well as other sports personalities.
