European Sambo Championships Competition details Discipline Sambo Type Annual Organiser European Sambo Federation (ESF)

The **European Sambo Championships** is the main [sambo](/source/Sambo_(martial_art)) championships in Europe, organized by the [European Sambo Federation](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=European_Sambo_Federation&action=edit&redlink=1). The first championship was held in 1972 in [Riga](/source/Riga), Latvia.[1][2][3] Ukraine planned to boycott the 2022 European Sambo Championships because Russian and Belarusian athletes would be allowed to compete with neutral status.[4] Unlike most international federations, the [International Sambo Federation](/source/International_Sambo_Federation) (FIAS) had not banned Russian and Belarusians in response to the [2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine).[4]
