Six wrestlers under the direction of national coach Jesmond Giordimaina will be in action on Saturday 26 September in Palermo in another edition of the Grand Prix of Sicily.

Maltese wrestlers have been participating in international tournaments in Sicily since 1975 and many times registered very good results.

Other countries invited to take part besides Malta are Romania, Hungary, Poland, Germany, the United States and, obviously, Italy.

The Maltese team will be made up of Abraham Vassallo (84kg, captain), Aidan Buhagiar (96kg), David Zammit (60kg), Adam Vella (60kg), Matthew Bonnici (55kg) and Andrea Saliba (74kg)

The Malta Amateur Wrestling Federation is this year celebrating the 40th anniversary since its foundation in 1969. For this reason preparations are in hand to organise an international tournament.
