The Russian Federation proposed the concept of hosting the CIS Games. On September 28, 2018, the Council of CIS State Leaders met in Dushanbe and approved the plan.

In addition to putting the CIS collaboration agreement in the realm of physical culture and sport into effect, the Games were organised to fortify the long-standing amicable relations between nations.

The goals of the Games are to preserve CIS national sports as a historical legacy, their popularisation and development at the international level, promote a healthy lifestyle, develop positive physical and moral qualities in young people, cultivate patriotism, the will to achieve goals, respect for history and folk traditions, and improve sports prowess and experience of the athletes competing in international competitions.

Sambo is a dynamic martial art and combat sport that blends elements of wrestling and judo. Originating in the Soviet Union, it focuses on throws, joint locks, and ground control techniques to subdue opponents.

This sport enhances physical strength, agility, and tactical decision-making while also serving as an effective self-defense system. Sambo is divided into two main styles: Sport Sambo, which emphasizes grappling and takedowns, and Combat Sambo, which incorporates striking techniques alongside submissions.

As a globally recognized discipline, Sambo is practiced in international competitions and continues to grow in popularity worldwide.
