National wrestling teams to be provided with physiotherapists

October 22, 2026

On October 21, a presentation of young physiotherapists was held for the coaches of Azerbaijan’s national wrestling teams. Representatives of the Azerbaijan Sports Academy (ASA) also attended the meeting.

The main topics discussed during the meeting included the format of cooperation between coaches and physiotherapists, the role of interns in the training process, their working principles, and the importance of clearly defining expectations. It was emphasized that young specialists would be involved in the training processes of the national teams in the U15, U17 and U20 age groups, allowing them to further develop their theoretical and practical knowledge.

As part of the program, the students will benefit from the experience of professional physiotherapists working with the senior national teams. As a result of the project implemented jointly with ASA, Azerbaijan’s national wrestling teams across all age groups will be provided with physiotherapists for the first time.

It should be noted that students who demonstrate strong performance and professionalism during their practical training are expected to be offered permanent employment in the future.
