Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek is hosting the World Sambo Championships for the first time.

Ashgabat in Turkmenistan had originally been scheduled to stage the World Championships, but pulled out, leading to Bishkek stepping in.

The Sports Complex Gazprom for Children is the venue for the World Championships, where athletes from Russia and Belarus will be allowed to compete under the FIAS flag.

FIAS has sopped short of fully implementing an International Olympic Committee recommendation that athletes from the two countries be excluded from international sport outright over the war in Ukraine.

All travelling to Bishkek will need to have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) COVID-19 test no older than 48 hours prior to departure.
