In response to Iran’s request, the United World Wrestling deemed Takhti Cup as an excellent and tradition wrestling tournament announcing “Grand Prix competitions convenes in Baku only once a year in Freestyle, Greco-Roman and Women’s events with the support of a specific financial sponsor from Azerbaijan Republic.”
UWW also referred to the possibility of designing a new classification and ranking system for international tournaments so that wrestlers will earn more points in higher ranking events by which Takhti Cup will become more widely recognized and considered.
In its letter to the United World Wrestling (UWW), Iranian Wrestling Federation had voiced readiness to host Grand Prix competitions using a local financial supporter in case of withdrawal on the part of Azerbaijani sponsor; otherwise, Iran would be eager to hold ‘Takhti Grand Prix’ within a new framework different from the Grand Prix event in Baku.
