The Serbian Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce, as a long-time friend of sports events that promote healthy habits and togetherness, helped with the organization of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament “VIN Challenge” held in Belgrade in October 2026.
For the fifth time in a row, this international tournament was a reason for bringing together numerous fans and competitors of this martial art, who competed in different categories for the title of the best at the “Šumice” Sports Center in Voždovac.
This sports weekend brought a fantastic atmosphere among everyone present, who had the opportunity to witness unpredictable matches and fair play. The tournament was an unforgettable gathering place for more than 500 competitors from different countries, and we are sure that most of them left with new friendships and valuable experiences, as well as with well-deserved medals.
Our Association, as one of the sponsors, proudly supported this sports event that promotes healthy values and discipline. Dr. Nemanja Aleksić, an outstanding expert in the field of cardiac surgery and one of the founders of the Sports Association “VIN” under whose auspices the tournament was organized, expressed his gratitude for the support with the following words: “Brazilian Jiu Jitsu among children and youth builds a feeling of self-confidence, responsibility, perseverance, mutual respect and ability to face challenges. With this gesture, SAKOM showed that the Association recognizes true values and that the success of one community lies in the readiness to support initiatives that benefit society. SAKOM's support is an investment not only in sports, but also in the future of younger generations.”
As a reminder, since 2023, the Serbian Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce has been supporting the “Judo for the blind and visually impaired” project launched by two sports organizations, the Sports Association “Kukolj Team”, founded by our national judo team member Aleksandar Kukolj, and the Sports Association “VIN”, founded by our outstanding doctors Nemanja and Vuk Aleksić.
