AIGA Global Grappling Series 2026 — Istanbul

AL LEONE at the AIGA Global Grappling Series 2026 in Istanbul

On September 19–20, 2026, Istanbul hosted the AIGA Global Grappling Series. The tournament took place as part of the strategic partnership between AIGA and United World Wrestling (UWW), the Olympic governing body for wrestling, with whom AIGA continues to develop and advance the sport of grappling.

The opening day featured an open tournament, followed by a professional showcase at ORA Arena on day two. The programme included elite superfights under UWW rules, a 5-on-5 team competition and a series of women’s superfights.


AL LEONE outfitted the headline matchups of the evening. Both teams competing in the main No-Gi event wore AL LEONE: the legendary ATOS Academy from the United States and the Universal Fighters/FSA team from Russia. AL LEONE also provided the competition gear for every athlete taking part in the women’s superfights.

As AIGA’s official apparel partner, AL LEONE has proudly supported the league for many years. We deeply value AIGA’s contribution to the growth of grappling and are honoured to stand alongside the organisation at every major milestone.

As always, the AL LEONE booth welcomed athletes, guests and fans throughout the tournament.
