The Uzbekistan National SAMBO Championship was held from January 24 to 26 in the city of Bukhara. According to the organizing committee, more than 350 athletes from all regions of the country took part in the competition. Medals were awarded in Sport SAMBO among men and women, as well as in Combat SAMBO among men.

"Traditionally, the national championship aroused keen interest among the numerous spectators gathered in the stands in the hall. Most of our titled athletes proved their high level of skill, although young SAMBO athletes were not shy in meetings with champions. Based on the results of the championship, our coaches will be able to form the national team to participate in international competitions this year," said Alisher Alimov, President of the Sambo Association of Uzbekistan.

He also said that during the tournament in Bukhara, a meeting of senior coaches of the regional branches of the Sambo Association of Uzbekistan was held. At the event, a draft calendar of SAMBO competitions in Uzbekistan for 2025 and a plan for training the national team were adopted.

This year, Uzbekistan will host two major international SAMBO tournaments. In April, Tashkent will host the Asia and Oceania SAMBO Championships, and in October, SAMBO veterans from different countries will come to Uzbekistan to participate in the World Masters Championships.
