Historical Kırkpınar Oil Wrestling is the world’s oldest wrestling festival, with its origins tracing back to the 14th century in Rumelia. It stands as the second oldest combined sports event after the Olympics. Following the conquest of Edirne by Murat Bey and his frontier lords (uc¸ beyi) in 1361, a wrestling competition was inaugurated during the summer of the same year under the auspices of Murat Bey in honor of the forty brave raiders who played an essential role in the conquest.
This event went down in history as “Kırkpınar Wrestling”. Subsequently, this prestigious wrestling tournament became an annual tradition in Edirne, taking place at the end of June and the beginning of July
