International mas-wrestling federation

Dear friends, we present to your attention the program of events of the Open European Mas-Wrestling Championships in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia:

Oliver Kurek from Banská Bystrica is one of the most successful Slovak athletes in power disciplines. In November, thanks to his efforts, we will host the European Mas-wrestling Championship, which will bring top athletes of this non-traditional sport to Banská Bystrica from several countries around the world.

At a bilateral meeting with a delegation from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the leadership of the International Mas-wrestling Federation outlined prospects for cooperation in the development of mas-wrestling in another Asian country.

At the grand opening of the tournament, inspired by the parting speech of the Yakutia Railways JSC General Director Vasily Shimokhin, the teams declared their claims to leadership positions.

International competitions in rowing, curling, surfing, and mas-wrestling are included in the programme of the Sports Games of the 10th anniversary Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held on 3–6 September in Vladivostok. The EEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.

On August 15-17, 2025, the IV Yaylag Festival took place in the Goygol region of Azerbaijan, which included a presentation of mas-wrestling.
