In connection with the 90th anniversary of recognising sambo as a sport, to be marked in 2028, and considering the major role this unique Russian-born martial art plays in promoting patriotic education and physical fitness among young people, the President has instructed the Government of the Russian Federation to form an organising committee for holding events devoted to sambo’s 90th anniversary as a sports discipline.
The President has also instructed the Government to take additional measures to enable more people to practice sambo, as well as to offer state support for members of the national sambo sport teams.
Regional executive bodies have received a recommendation to take measures aimed at promoting sambo among young people, as well as other age groups, and further developing this sports discipline in the Russian Federation.
