The sumo competition at the 2022 World Games took place in July 2022,[1] in Birmingham in United States, at the Boutwell Auditorium; the lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight events were held on July 9 and the openweight events were held on July 10.
Originally scheduled to take place in July 2021, the Games were rescheduled for July 2022 as a result of the 2020 Summer Olympics postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
The Egyptian sumo team was banned from competing in the remaining sumo events after "poor sportsmanship".[3] The poor organization and sportsmanship displayed during this year's competition led to sumo being dropped from the program ahead of the 2025 World Games.[4] [5] [6]
