his international camp has been organized regularly since 2023 and, within a short period, has become one of the most prestigious training camps on the world Kurash calendar. Notably, nearly 95 percent of the national teams that participated in previous Issyk-Kul camps have won medals at the Asian Games, World Championships, and other major international competitions.

I am convinced that the XV Asian Championship will be remembered not only for strong Kurash contests, but also for promoting peace, friendship, respect, and human values. I call upon all national federations affiliated to the KCA to actively participate in this continental championship.

The official logo of the 15th Asian Senior Kurash Championship, which will be held in Dushanbe, the capital city of the Republic of Tajikistan, from 11 to 15 June 2026, has been officially approved.

This prestigious continental competition is being organised in cooperation with the International Kurash Association, the Kurash Confederation of Asia, and the Tajikistan Kurash Federation. The championship serves to determine the strongest athletes in Asia, award the IKA ranking points, and also holds significance as an important qualification and preparation stage ahead of major international competitions.

During this year, the Kurash Confederation of Asia successfully held several prestigious competitions and organizational events. In particular, the Asian Seniors, Juniors, and Cadets Championships, held in Goesan, South Korea, were organized at a high level and further strengthened the prestige of Kurash as a sport on our continent.

On behalf of the Asian Kurash Confederation, I would like to sincerely congratulate all kurash athletes, coaches, referees, national federations and sports fans.
