Athletic Wrestling Club

Athletic Wrestling Club is a non-profit sports organisation founded in 2005 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, specialising in Greco-Roman and Freestyle Wrestling.

Our mission is to serve the public interest by providing children, young people, and adults with opportunities for personal development through sport. We work with boys and girls, men and women of all ages, from beginners to competitive athletes.

Wrestling builds discipline, perseverance, confidence, and strong character, while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. Through regular training, our participants develop physical fitness, resilience, and social skills, while reducing stress, aggression, and social isolation.

Our programmes support talent development and competitive pathways, as well as social inclusion, including work with children from disadvantaged backgrounds and deaf children.

Athletic Wrestling Club promotes sport as a tool for health, education, inclusion, and positive social change.
