Azerbaijan's wrestling officiating has achieved another success.

According to Offsideplus.az, two Azerbaijani referees successfully completed their examinations at the U-15 European Championship held in Samokov, Bulgaria, thereby elevating their categories.

Previously officiating domestic competitions at the national level, Nihad Muradov (Nakhchivan AR) has now attained the status of a third-category international referee. Meanwhile, our other representative, Shamil Fattayev (Lankaran), has progressed from the third category to the second.

Following this success, the number of international wrestling referees from Azerbaijan has reached 24.
