"The tournament is aimed not only at instilling a passion for this discipline in children, but also at expanding the number of young samboists who will become champions in the future," he said.

"It should also be noted that we have included the discipline of Combat SAMBO in competitions among juniors,” concluded Skalli.

According to the competition organising committee, more than 320 young athletes took part in the tournament. The athletes demonstrated a sincere fight for victory, and also tried to surprise not only their opponents, but also the coaches of the Moroccan national team with their technique.

In the future, some of these guys will probably fight to get into the national team to represent the country in international competitions.
