Mumbai, Nov. 6 -- People's ArmWrestling Federation of India (PAFI) announced today that India will host the World ArmWrestling Championships in October, 2026.
The championship is expected to feature approximately 1,500- 2,000 athletes from 75 countries, competing across multiple categories. This announcement also marks another major opportunity for India to establish itself as a powerhouse in arm-wrestling, following the successful Asian ArmWrestling Cup in Mumbai in October 2024 and the Asian ArmWrestling Championship 2025 in New Delhi.
Hosting such a prestigious tournament not only underlines the ever-increasing popularity of armwrestling in the country but also showcases India as a global hub for the sport at the highest level.
