AWF holds meeting with regional wrestling coordinators

October 18, 2026

A meeting with regional wrestling coordinators of the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation (AWF) was held on October 16–17.

In line with Azerbaijan’s geographical and economic regional divisions, 14 regional representative offices have been established. During the meeting, participants discussed the responsibilities of regional coordinators, activity plans, strategies for developing wrestling across the regions, and existing challenges. They also exchanged views on various topics and assessed the proposals put forward.

Over the two-day programme, participants attended presentations on the AWF’s structure and strategy, regional development strategy, unified competition calendar, competition organisation, and the online database.

On the first day, detailed information was provided on the AWF’s structure and strategy, followed by a presentation of the regional development strategy. Participants then took part in group work focusing on regional development priorities and discussed activity plans. Particular attention was paid to identifying priorities at the regional level and planning activities for the coming period.

The second day featured presentations on the unified competition calendar, competition organisation, the operation of the online database, and guidelines for using documents and templates. Participants also reviewed matters related to activity planning and reporting mechanisms for regional coordinators.

Later in the day, the coordinators were divided into teams of three. Each team prepared and delivered a presentation based on assigned tasks. The team that delivered the best presentation received a special gift. Team-building games were also organised to strengthen team spirit, improve communication, and foster closer cooperation among participants.

The main objective of the event was to strengthen coordination at the regional level, ensure a unified approach to management, and contribute to the sustainable development of wrestling in Azerbaijan. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to identify upcoming priorities, exchange experience among coordinators, and reinforce cooperation.
