Azerbaijani referees officiate at U-17 World Wrestling Championship in Athens - PHOTO

Two Azerbaijani referees took part in the U-17 World Championship held in Athens, Greece.

Natig Hajiyev and Elman Ismayilov, who both hold the first-degree referee certification, officiated at the week-long world championship, Idman.biz reports.

Our experienced referees demonstrated great responsibility and precision in managing the matches, earning the trust of United World Wrestling (UWW).

This world championship was especially significant for Hajiyev, as it marked his final international tournament. In accordance with UWW regulations, our compatriot officially handed over his whistle and wristbands after reaching the age of 60, thus ending his international refereeing career. On the final day of the competition, the governing body presented him with a commemorative gift.
