The 2026 Global Campaign will kick off on July 26, 2026 in Baku, Azerbaijan at the U17 World Championships. The Global Campaign is an initiative in partnership with USA Wrestling and UWW to leverage the global stage of wrestling. The US and Azerbaijani Men’s Greco-Roman teams will join forces with Wrestling for Peace, USA Wrestling, the Azerbaijan Wrestling Federation, the US Embassy, diplomats, and humanitarian workers to address ongoing needs within the community.

Our objective is to foster sportsmanship, unity, and peace, while providing the opportunity for cultural exchange, community engagement, and diplomatic dialogue. Through this collaboration, we aim to elevate the positive impact of wrestling, turning each event into an opportunity for global peace-building and lasting change.
