Question
Will the Minister provide an update on what Welsh Government support is available for professional wrestling groups at all levels?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
Welsh Government funding for sport is directed through Sport Wales. However, Sport Wales does not recognise professional wrestling as a sport as the outcome of “contests” has already been pre-determined. Wrestling clubs and groups across Wales are therefore ineligible for support via Sport Wales.
