“This year we are resuming the practice of holding World SAMBO Cups on different continents. By increasing the number of international competitions, we help athletes gain new experience and improve their professional skills. This is especially important given the Olympic prospects of our sport, because in 2021 FIAS received full recognition from the IOC.
I am very glad that representatives of three continents – Asia, Europe and Africa – will come to the World Cup in Asia this year. At the same time, the audience will once again see fights in Combat SAMBO among women. This format is becoming more and more popular among fans. I am sure it has a great future,” said Vasily Shestakov, President of the International SAMBO Federation.
