OrganiserEuropean Sambo Federation (ESF)

The European Sambo Championships is the main sambo championships in Europe, organized by the European Sambo Federation. The first championship was held in 1972 in Riga, Latvia. Ukraine planned to boycott the 2022 European Sambo Championships because Russian and Belarusian athletes would be allowed to compete with neutral status. Unlike most international federations, the International Sambo Federation (FIAS) has not banned Russian and Belarusians in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
