Get specific type of events Facebook using graph API

Question

I am trying to get only sport type facebook events.

I am retreiving my events using the query below, but I want to filter these out by category. I have tried nested fields but I can't get the ones I need, I get everything back.

search?q=Brasov&type=event&fields=name,start_time,id,cover,owner

The events I am looking for have this category in the owner field.

"category": "Sports/recreation/activities", 
"category_list": [
          {
            "id": "186982054657561", 
            "name": "Sports & Recreation"
          }

Do you know any way I can get only the events that have this category_list id ?

That is not possible using the currently implemented search functionality. You have to filter the results on your end. — CBroe, Mar 25 '15 at 14:57

That is not currently possible. I would suggest you to store the events you received from the API call and do a filter on your server (or client).
