History

The first World Sambo Cup took place in 1977 in Oviedo, Spain.[2] Two years later, the first Youth World Championships were held in Madrid, Spain.

In 1984, an assembly of the Fédération Internationale des Luttes Associées (FILA), now known as the United World Wrestling, chose to create an independent federation for sambo, the Fédération Internationale de Sambo (FIAS). On 13 June 1984, a constitutive General Assembly of the FIAS was held in Madrid, in which delegates from 56 countries took part. Fernando Compte was elected the first president of FIAS.

The first championships for women was held in 1983 in Madrid, Spain.[3][4]

gollark: This page is protected against creationThis page has been protected against creation and cannot be created without administrator help; by far the most common reason for this to happen is that it has been repeatedly created by spambots and has been protected to prevent those spambots attacking it in the future. If you do need to create a page at this title, place a request for the page to be unprotected (for instance at the Talk page of the administrator who protected it; check this page's history to find out who that was).
