The event will take place on April 26 and is expected to bring together athletes of various ages and skill levels in a large celebration of the sport.

The competition program will include Elite Sanda divisions, where championship belts will be contested, as well as Amateur and Light Sanda categories, covering everyone from beginners to high-performance fighters.
