The format of the debut tournament will be matches between the national teams of South Korea and Russia dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Competitions will be held in sport Sambo among men and women, and in combat Sambo. Women will compete in the 48 kg and 60 kg weight categories; and men will compete in the 74 kg, 82 kg, 90 kg and 100 kg categories in sport Sambo and the 62 kg, 74 kg and 90 kg categories in combat Sambo.

Pohang traditionally holds a number of festivals. City residents and tourists gather each year for events like the fireworks festival (end of July), the Irvol cultural festival (beginning of October), the festival on Guryongpo beach (end of July), and others. The city may also host another tradition in the near future — the FIAS President's Sambo Cup — which will likely be held there annually in early September.
