Now, the opportunity to obtain a license to participate in the Games will be provided not only at qualifying tournaments but also based on the world ranking.
At the 2027 World Championship, the first 4 licenses in each of the 18 weight categories of Olympic wrestling will be up for grabs.
According to information from UWW, this licensing championship will take place from September 11 to 19. Although the venue has not yet been determined, the USA is already being considered as one of the candidates.
The specific location will be announced during the 2026 World Championship, which will be held in Bahrain.
