ADCC Europe Middle East And Africa 2nd Trials Results

The 2nd ADCC European, Middle Eastern & African Trials ran February 14–15, 2026 in Belgrade, Serbia, drawing over 400 competitors from more than 30 countries for a shot at the region's remaining seats at the 2026 ADCC World Championship in Krakow, Poland.

Russian brown belt Nikolay Vetrov took gold at -77kg in a standout performance for a competitor without a black belt to his name, while Injana Goodman submitted all four of her opponents en route to the -65kg final before closing it out on points. Leg-lock specialists were well represented across the brackets — a reminder that ADCC no-gi rules reward the kind of heel hook and kneebar entries IBJJF gi competition restricts.
