The Executive Committe will consider a number of important issues for further popularization of kurash on our continent, in particular candidates to host Asian Championship in 2023.

At the moment, we have completed almost 70% of the organizational works. As of August 15, more than 10 teams have submitted their applications for participation in the competition, which will be held at the Kasertsart sports complex.

The strongest athletes of our continent under the age of 20 will participate in the championship. On September 6, in the atmosphere of the World Kurash Day celebration, 1–2-star IKA Referee exam from the Continental Championship Program will be held.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Jakappan Naklada, Secretary General of the Thai Kurash Association, said that the Thai Kurash Association is using the services of an experienced Uzbek coach to train kurash athletes and currently they are all ready.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the tournament, Chairman of the State Committee for Youth and Sports of Tajikistan Abdullo Rahmonzoda acknowledged that the prestigious Kurash Championship, which is being held for the first time in Tajikistan, was a real holiday gift for fans on the eve of Navruz.

President of the Kuwait Kurash Federation Hameed Farman and Director General of TajikAeronavigation Loikjon Ashurov had been elected as a Vice-Presidents of KCAO.

The capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe, will announce the names of the new champions of the continent in kurash on March 17-21.

Another important event of KCAO is the regional Asian championships. In 2022, Nepal will host the South Asian Kurash Championship, while Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan will host the Central Asian Kurash Championship. International tournaments and training seminars are also held throughout the year in Shahrisabz, Khorezm, Issyk-Kul and Bojnurd.

Today, I consider it a great happiness to be healthy in the company of family and friends. May the Creator take care of us all.

The heated and uncompromising encounter took place at a very high level and in high spirits. About 600 athletes from all regions of the country, as well as the Republic of Karakalpakstan and the city of Tashkent competed for the cup.
