JORDAN SELECTED TO HOST WORLD U20 WRESTLING

Hot on the heels of hosting a hugely successful Asian U20 & U15 Wrestling Championships, Jordan has been awarded the World U20 Wrestling Championships.
The event will take place from August 14-20 in Amman, relocating from Warsaw, Poland, with Jordan chosen ahead of Turkey, Greece, and Albania, who had also applied to host the event.
United World Wrestling held an Executive Committee meeting in Amman on the sidelines of the Asian event, and Jordan was approved as the new host. The Wrestling Federation of Jordan has confirmed that it will grant visas to all countries, ensuring a smooth participation process for athletes.
While the U20 World Championships will change locations, the Executive Committee approved the Polish Wrestling Federation's request to keep the World Grappling Championships in Warsaw as initially planned.
The Federation will now work with the Jordan Olympic Committee to make all arrangements, and continue the excellent work in hosting the continental event earlier this month that saw more than 500 wrestlers compete at the Princess Sumaya Hall in Al Hussein Youth City.
Mr. Mohammed Al-Awamleh, the President of the Jordan federation, said it was a proud moment for Jordan to be chosen and was recognition for the hard work that had been witnessed over the recent weeks.
