DUSHANBE, 26.01.2023 (NIAT Khovar) – In June last year, the national wrestling of Tajiks Gushtin (Gushtingiri) received international status.

This international category has been registered with the Swiss Ministry of Justice, and the Tajik national wrestling has received an international certificate.

In order to obtain this status, on March 19, 2022, Dushanbe hosted a conference with the participation of representatives of 31 countries before the start of the international national wrestling tournament. The representatives of the participating states supported this decision.

One of the most important means of strengthening the development of the sports sector is honoring and paying tribute to national sports games, which are a symbol of resilience, bravery, strength, and courage, aimed at protecting the highest national values and ensuring the health of society.

One of the reasons why the national wrestling has acquired an international character is that, on the initiative of the Chairman of Dushanbe Rustam Emomali, international sports competitions in national wrestling were held in the capital of Tajikistan more than 4 times.
