Following the partnership agreement between UWW and Kourtane Training Centre in Finland in January 2017, a total of 3 female wrestlers from Australia, South Africa and New Zealand benefited from the programme.

Furthermore, female wrestlers from Nigeria benefited from an extensive training camp prior to the African Continental Championships for their physical and technical preparation.
