Scheduled to take place from May 13 to 16 in the city of Limassol, the Executive Committee of the European Sambo Federation has decided to bring the age group Championships together with the senior competition.

Initially, the European Youth and Junior Championships were scheduled to take place from April 16 to 18 in Cyprus, while the European Championships were set to take place from May 21 to 23 in Italy.

COVID-19 protocols will be in place, with all event participants required to take a polymerase chain reaction test within 72 hours of arriving in Cyprus.

Similar to all the World Sambo Championships being held in one location in Novi Sad in Serbia in 2020 - a "sanitary bubble" will be in place again.

Additionally, the European Sambo Federation Executive Committee has decided to postpone the European Sambo Cup to December 11 to 13 in Romania.

This was initially supposed to take place in January, but was postponed indefinitely due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The European Cadets Sambo Championships have also been postponed from June to December 18 and 19 in The Netherlands.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Sambo Championships were not held in 2020, and were last hosted in 2019 in Gijon in Spain.
