This is the second UWW international wrestling event hosted at Xtream Arena. In 2022, UWW’s Freestyle World Cup was held, marking a historic moment as both men and women competed with equal billing. The Iowa City area also hosted the Freestyle World Cup in 2018 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, plus the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Wrestling in 2012 and 2016.

“It’s an honor to be able to host the Pan-American Championships,” said Josh Schamberger, President of Think Iowa City and the Iowa City Area Sports Commission. “We are ‘Wrestletown USA’ for a reason. This is a terrific opportunity to display the Iowa City/Coralville community to the world.”
