The meeting focused on the matters related to further dynamic promotion of Kurash in Uzbekistan and the world.

В ходе встречи г-н Фарман выразил благодарность руководству НОК за оказанное содействие в успешном проведении Международного турнира в Термезе, а также за постоянную помощь в развитии Кураша на мировой арене.

The members of the Directing Committee decided to create a new post of vice-president of the IKA to interact with the motherland of Kurash - Uzbekistan. IKA President Haider Farman proposed to appoint Abdujabbor Abduvokhidov, Advisor to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, to this newly created position. Directing Committee members unanimously supported this proposal.

Kurash is more than three thousand years old. Kurash, like humanity itself, has survived numerous wars, epidemics, floods and earthquakes. Kurash cannot be defeated by the current pandemic as well.

The new dates of the OCA’s 6th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games will be from 10th to 20th of March 2022.

As you all know, the reason for the pandemic was that many kurash competitions and events were not held on the continents. However, we have high hopes for the coming new 2021. We plan to hold all the tournaments and championships that were not held last year this year.

September 6 is a precious day for all Kurash fans around the world! We widely celebrate this day as World Kurash Day. Exactly 22 years ago, the International Kurash Association was established, and our favorite sport was recognized as an international sport.

The Most difficult refereeing that I did was the Finals in Termez between Abdullah Tangeriev( Kurash Legend ) from Uzbekistan and his young apponent from kazakestan. Where a technique was executed the public believed it was for the Uzbek , but it was for the Kazak and referees aproved my decission even though I did not have a good feeling but I awarded to Kazak and he won, and as I believe it was the last time that Mr.Tangeriev competed in Kurash.

The news that will take part in the 2021 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Program in Bangkok, Thailand and the 2022 Summer Asian Games in China has delighted us all.
