Four days on Grozny's wrestling calendar
The federation lists the event as an international senior tournament running from 14 to 17 September. Four days at one venue point to a dense sequence from weigh-ins and preliminary rounds to finals; the federation's live tournament page carries the evolving daily programme.
A field spanning 14 countries
The Chechen sports ministry's 3 September announcement named Iran, Tajikistan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Türkiye, Moldova, Hungary, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Greece. Athlete names and weight-class entries may move during registration, so the federation's tournament registry should be treated as the live source.
Before heading to the stands
Official sources confirm the dates and venue, but spectator sessions, ticketing and door times have not been published with the same clarity. Visitors should recheck the federation registry and local organiser notices before travelling and allow time for venue security.
