Dear friends! On behalf of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation and myself, I personally greet the participants, organizers and guests of the Hand-to-hand fighting World Cup in Moscow!

In recent years, hand-to-hand fighting has become more and more popular, especially among young people. This sport helps to disclose volitional abilities and to form a sports character. Holding the Hand-to-hand fighting World Cup in Moscow will contribute to the development of this sport, will attract the attention of spectators and new fans to the ranks of fighting sports fans.

I wish all the participants of the competition good health, fair game and great success!
