TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Wrestlers from sumo's top division will make a two-day exhibition tour to Paris in June 2026, the third of its kind in the French capital, the Japan Sumo Association said Sunday.
One-day tournaments will be held on June 13 and 14 in a venue that accommodates about 15,000 people, and a playoff will be contested on the final day if there are different tournament winners over the two days.
"We'll make every possible preparation to have spectators enjoy the charm of traditional culture and the power of the raised ring," sumo association head Hakkaku told a press conference in Tokyo.
"Our traditional culture has been recognized. We'd like to continue doing this as long as it doesn't put a burden on wrestlers."
Sumo's previous visits to Paris were in 1986 and 1995.
London's Royal Albert Hall is scheduled to host a five-day tournament this October.
