This will be the most prestigious European Championships held in our history with the winners of the respective disciplines and weight categories with the top eight, participating in the European games in 2022 for the first  time and also the winners in the respective disciplines and  categories  taking their rightful place at the world combat games in 2023. What an extraordinary opportunity for our  national feeerations and athletes for all of us in Europe.

It is a real testament to the development of the sport globally as we are now getting opportunities which we have never received or seen before we must continue to focus on developing a membership system and passport at regional national level as well as continental . This is the golden key for progress continental and global
