An international wrestling tournament has been held in Xi’an, China.

In the competition called “Belt and Road,” three members of the Azerbaijani Greco-Roman wrestling team represented the country. The tournament, with participants from around 10 countries, saw Davud Mammadov (77 kg), Murad Ahmadiyev (97 kg), and Serkhan Mammadov (130 kg) competing under the guidance of U-20 national team head coach Nuredin Rajabov and coach Turac Huseynli.
