All-Star Sumo in Abu Dhabi
Professional Sumo Comes to Abu Dhabi for the First Time
A sport rarely witnessed outside Japan is being presented live in Abu Dhabi for the first time.
The All-Star Sumo Elite Competition takes place at Space42 Arena on Saturday, September 26, 2026, marking the first international professional sumo exhibition ever staged in the UAE. Nine elite wrestlers will compete in 36 dynamic bouts on a competition platform prepared specifically for the event, combining elite athletic contest with the ceremonial traditions that define the sport.
The lineup features athletes from Japan, Mongolia, and Egypt representing world championship titles, Emperor’s Cup honours, and decades of professional competition. Headlining the event is Ichi (Japan), winner of the Emperor’s Cup, the highest achievement in professional sumo, and a former top division professional rikishi. He is joined by Hiroki (Japan), recognized as the heaviest sumo champion on Earth, and Ramy (Egypt), a 10-time national champion and one of the most accomplished Arab sumo wrestlers in history.
All-Star Sumo is pioneering the opportunity for international competition, with elite professional sumo veterans. A bout can end in seconds, with a single shift of balance or step beyond the boundary deciding the contest immediately. This is the fastest-pace combat sport you will ever see!
The evening includes the ceremonial traditions, including an introduction of the wrestlers and Japanese Taiko drumming. Guests will also enjoy Japanese themed photo experiences, food and beverage outlets, and official merchandise. VIP Meet and Greet ticket holders receive exclusive post event access to meet the athletes and take photos.
This is a one night only appearance. Don’t miss your chance to experience sumo live!
