The important role of SAMBO in the professional integration of young people was noted by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Guinea, Billy Kaba. He praised the opportunities for young people to get involved in the sport due to the presence of different weight categories, sport and combat disciplines, as well as competitive opportunities for both men and women.

“SAMBO can be practiced in schools and universities for everyone. In addition, this martial art can become the basis for the training of defense and security forces,” said Billy Kaba.

As Amadou Sadigou Bah told, the nearest plans of the federation are to hold SAMBO seminars for coaches and referees of Guinea, as well as to organize a national championship in this sport.
