CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (August 27) -- United World Wrestling’s Executive Committee has approved a standard yearly calendar. The approval came after requests by national federations to have a fixed annual calendar to improve athlete participation, streamline budgeting and increase promotions.

The Executive Committee received and approved the following proposed dates: 

  • U23 Continental C'Ships: One month prior to Senior Continental C'ships 
  • Senior Continental C'Ships: April/May 
  • Cadet Continental C'Ships - Last two weeks of June 
  • Junior Continental C'Ships - First two weeks of July 
  • Cadet World C'Ships - Last week of July 
  • Junior World C'Ships - Middle of August 
  • Senior World C'Ships - Middle of September 
  • U23 World C'Ships - October 
  • World Cups - November

In addition, the Executive Committee also approved the timeline for host city candidacies:

By following these procedures, wrestling ensures that the calendar will be set four (4) years in advance, which will give national federations, host cities, and organizers more time to prepare for their events.
