The 2025 U17 World Wrestling Championships is set to take center stage at the Ano Liosia Olympic Hall in Athens, Greece, from July 28 to August 3. The competitions will be held across three categories in the men’s Freestyle, men’s Greco-Roman and women’s Wrestling, expected to feature about 700 wrestlers from various parts of the world.
The men’s Greco-Roman and freestyle teams that will represent Team USA were selected during the U17 US Open Wrestling Championships, held from April 23 to 27 in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the women’s wrestling team was chosen during the Women’s National Championships & World Team Trials, conducted from April 4 to 6 in Spokane, Washington.
At last year’s U17 World Wrestling Championships held in Amman, Jordan, Team USA emerged as the best team in the men’s freestyle, defeating Iran (silver) and Kyrgyzstan (bronze). Women's wrestling finished fifth overall, and Greco-Roman wrestlers came eighth.
We will now take a look at the schedule, USA athletes participating, and more:
