Come see the world’s best from more than 100 countries at the 2015 Wrestling World Championships! For the first time since 2003, the Wrestling World Championships are being hosted in the United States, and the competition will take place September 7-12, 2015 at The Orleans Arena!
This is a tremendously important event in international wrestling, as it serves as the first qualifying event for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as the event in which the largest number of athletes earn a spot at the Olympics.
“We very excited to play host to the wrestling world’s largest event outside the Olympics,” said USA Wrestling’s Executive Director Rich Bender. “It is an historic event not just for USA Wrestling but also for our 174-member nations. It also serves as an Olympic qualifier which makes it special. Las Vegas and the Orleans Arena present a tremendous opportunity to mix our sport into the world’s best entertainment city.”
Competition in all three Olympic styles of international wrestling will be held: men’s freestyle, women’s freestyle and Greco-‐Roman.
The 2015 World Wrestling Championships will be presented by United World Wrestling, USA Wrestling, the United States Olympic Committee and Las Vegas Events.
This showcase event will be here before you know it and tickets will sellout quickly. Reserve yours today!
