As reported by İdman.Biz, Nureddin Novruzov (61kg), Kenan Heybatov (70kg), Arseniy Jioyev (86kg) and Giorgi Meshvildishvili (125kg) are set to take to the mat.
Novruzov, Heybatov and Meshvildishvili have received first-round byes and will enter the competition in the next stage.
Jioyev, meanwhile, will face Bahrain's Khidir Saipudinov in his opening bout as he looks to advance in the 86kg category.
Azerbaijan has already secured three medals at the championships, all in Greco-Roman wrestling.
Eldaniz Azizli (55kg) and Sanan Suleymanov (77kg) claimed gold medals, while Nihat Mammadli (63kg) finished with silver.
The freestyle wrestlers will now aim to build on that success and strengthen Azerbaijan's overall medal tally at the tournament.
