The Federation International de Savate (FISav) believes in the power of sport to build a better world, united in peaceful communication and friendly competition, beyond all political disputes. FISav strongly condemns the brutal attacks on innocent lives in Ukraine, and is deeply concerned for the safety of its Savate family in Ukraine.
In solidarity with the International Olympic Committee:
• FISav suspends the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in international competitions.
• FISav will not organise or recognise Savate events in Russia and Belarus.
• No Russian or Belarusian national flags, symbols, colours or anthems will be displayed or played at events until this grievous breach has ended.
