🇺🇿 World Strongman at the Ministry of Sports of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Today in Tashkent, representatives of World Strongman held an official working meeting at the Ministry of Sports of the Republic of Uzbekistan with Deputy Minister of Sports, Mr. Shakhrillo Sharipovich Makhmudov.

The key topic of the meeting was the organisation of the Strongman World Cup, scheduled to take place on 1 June 2026 in Tashkent.

The meeting also covered several strategic areas of cooperation:

• opening Asian Strongman Federation offices in Tashkent and Andijan;
• supporting the digitalisation of sport in Uzbekistan;
• exploring the broadcast of the World Strongman Championship 2025, held in Dubai, on national television in Uzbekistan.

This meeting marks an important step in strengthening cooperation between World Strongman and Uzbekistan, as well as further developing Strongman sport across Central Asia.

Uzbekistan has strong sporting potential, active government support for sport, and the opportunity to become one of the key regional centres for Strongman development in Asia.

World Strongman expresses its sincere gratitude to the Ministry of Sports of the Republic of Uzbekistan and personally to Mr. Shakhrillo Sharipovich Makhmudov for the constructive dialogue and support for international sports cooperation.

🇪🇺 Official Announcement

By the decision of the World Strongman Executive Committee, it has been approved to establish the European Strongman Federation with its headquarters in Vienna, Austria.

The new structure will serve as a regional coordination center uniting national federations, clubs, and partners across Europe — aimed at strengthening governance, development, and international representation of the sport.

The initiative proposed by Mr. Mahdi has been officially supported by the Executive Committee, marking a strong step toward deeper cooperation between European and Middle Eastern federations.

The composition and leadership of the European Strongman Federation will be decided during the Annual Congress of World Strongman in December 2025, held alongside the World Strongman Championship in Dubai.

This milestone represents a new era of unity, growth, and professionalism for the global Strongman movement.

🇮🇳 World Strongman Expands Powerfully into India!

Together with Kartik Yadav, Vice President of World Strongman for Asia, we are proud to announce the official launch of the Strongman India League — the first-ever national team championship under the Indian Strongman Federation.

💪 Six states will clash for the title of “Strongest State of India” in Dehradun on November 8, 2025, during the Uttarakhand Rajya Mahotsav.

This marks the beginning of a new era — where India joins the global Strongman movement under the flag of World Strongman International Union.

Strength. Unity. Expansion.
The World Strongman family grows stronger every day. 🌍

AND!! 🟦 OFFICIAL STATEMENT of the World Strongman

A LinkedIn page titled 👉 World Strength Sports Federation (WSSF) (https://www.linkedin.com/company/world-strength-sports-federation/about/) has recently appeared, claiming to represent an international sports body “operating since 2023.”

📍 World Strongman International Union (WSM) officially states:

-WSM has no affiliation with the entity known as WSSF;

-Searches across official registries (AIMS, SportAccord, Dubai Sports Council, MOEC) show no registration, license, or accreditation under this name;

-Claims of activity “since 2023” are not supported by verified evidence and raise reasonable doubts regarding authenticity.

-Since 2003, WSM has been developing and institutionalizing the Strongman discipline as a new international sport.

🤝 The Union cooperates with recognized international bodies, including:
-Asian Paralympic Committee (APC) — development of Para-Strongman;
-International Testing Agency (ITA) — implementation of anti-doping standards.
