The World Cup format has proven its effectiveness and demand among both athletes and spectators. Complex logistics often prevent athletes from different countries from taking part in international competitions, so in the very near future we intend to make World Cups an annual event on all continents. This will allow sambists from all over the world to gain the necessary experience, improve the level of professional skills and approach participation in the main tournament of the year of the FIAS calendar in optimal shape,” FIAS President Vasily Shestakov noted.
