Mikayil Jabbarov, the president of the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation, held a meeting with members of the national teams, coaches, and federation officials who participated in international competitions.

According to Offsideplus.az, the meeting focused on the achievements gained and the goals ahead.

Mikayil Jabbarov met with members of the national teams, coaches, and federation officials who took part in the World Championship held in Astana, Kazakhstan, as well as the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, Senegal.

During the meeting, discussions were held regarding the results of international competitions, Azerbaijan wrestling's position on the world stage, measures taken for the development of the sport, and future objectives. It was emphasised that the attention and care shown by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, towards the development of sports, the strengthening of state support in this area, and the creation of modern sports infrastructure have opened up extensive opportunities for our athletes' success on the international stage.

Eldaniz Azizli's achievement of winning a gold medal for the fifth time at the World Championship was particularly highlighted as a new milestone in the history of Azerbaijani wrestling. The fact that Senan Suleymanov brought the title of world champion to our country after a 15-year hiatus at the Olympic qualifiers was also regarded as another success of the national wrestling school.

The national team of boys at the Youth Olympic Games winning 2 gold and 1 silver medals, securing first place in the team standings, further demonstrates the ongoing success of Azerbaijani wrestling on the international stage.

Mikayil Jabbarov congratulated the athletes, coaches, and representatives of the federation's relevant structures on the significant results achieved. He stressed the importance of strengthening the training process in the upcoming period and enhancing the competitiveness of the athletes. The necessity of systematically and purposefully preparing for the next Summer Olympic Games, which will take place in two years, and successfully implementing a strategy aligned with Olympic goals was particularly emphasised.

The meeting also noted the need for continuous efforts to further elevate the international reputation of Azerbaijani wrestling and ensure the sustainability of existing successes.
