United World Wrestling has approved the host sites for the 2023 Senior European Championships and the 2024 U23 European Championships.
Zagreb, Croatia will host next year’s Senior European Championships. The Croatian capital hosted the 2012 Junior European Championships, but the 2023 European Championships will be the first time Zagreb has welcomed a senior-level continental championship.
UWW also approved Baku, Azerbaijan as the host site for the 2024 U23 European Championships.
“Baku hosting the 2024 U23 European Championships is a positive sign that Azerbaijan will return to hosting events in the future and shows the long-term interest of wrestling remains high,” said UWW President Nenad Lalovic. “They will host the Greco-Roman World Cup later this year and adding the U23 Europeans Championships is adding to the number of major competitions they are keen to organize.”
Earlier this year, UWW announced wrestling’s return to the historic city after an extended absence on the international calendar, as the city was provisionally approved to host the 2022 Greco-Roman World Cup (November 5-6).
