Bulgaria is a small country but it is very popular with its steady traditions in wrestling among young people as well as among adults. Lately, women who practice wrestling, are highly recognised. Female wrestling centers have been established in a number of towns in Bulgaria. Very popular are the sportswomen from the towns of Kyustendil, Vratsa, Dimitrovgrad who actually form our national teams. Of course there are some new female wrestling centers, which are in search for their own place in the national, as well as in the world wrestling. Such are the sportswomen from the towns of Yambol, Petrich, Samokov, and of course Sliven. About 10-15 teams from the whole country take part in the national Championship. Our representative teams of women, girls and cadets have participated in every European and World Championship. The teams use a very good training base and of course highly qualified trainers. Briefly, this is how things are with female wrestling in Bulgaria, without going into further details about names and positions, because they are well known and can be seen in the sites of the Bulgarian Wrestling Federation. We would like to make a step forward concerning collaboration, manifestation and exchange with wrestling teams of women, girls and cadets from other countries. That is why we send this message /invitation/ in the Internet hoping to make connections for future joint trainings in camps and bilateral events which will make our countries close and to place our sports skills on a higher level.
