'We Will Wrestle Again' aims to maximize the reach of UWW and Nike to raise money via tee shirt sales and direct the relief to National Federations, host-cities, and other grassroots activities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The T-shirts are available for sale on the United World Wrestling online store: uwwstore.com.
"We are pleased to join with Nike Wrestling for this important mission," said United World Wrestling president Nenad LALOVIC. "We are facing unprecedented times and the strength of our future will depend on our ability to come together in support of our community members around the world -- from athletes to national federations. We must remember that we will wrestle again."
Money generated from the campaign will also go into a scholarship fund, managed by the Development Department, which will provide financial aid to athletes with dreams of competing at the international level.
"Nike Wrestling understands the obstacles that the wrestling community faces in response to the global pandemic," said APS/Nike Wrestling president Eddie Brown. 'We Will Wrestle Again' came from the notion that we want to support those most effected and create a positive campaign that will help during these trying times."
Nike Wrestling has been a global sponsor of UWW since 2017 and at the direction of the federation's development department has supplied equipment to several disadvantaged wrestling communities around the globe.
