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 1984 in Madrid, Spain.[3][4]
