<h1>National federation relaunches six-franchise mixed-gender wrestling league with mandated women's weight categories, raising licensing, sponsorship and governance compliance issues</h1> A national wrestling federation has resumed a commercial league under its direct supervision, instituting a six-franchise structure with mandated mixed-gender rosters and four women's weight categories, aiming to enhance transparency, financial discipline and professional opportunities for female athletes. The relaunch creates regulatory and contractual considerations for franchise licensing, athlete employment and foreign player engagement, sponsorship and broadcast agreements, and compliance with gender-equity and athlete welfare standards. Sustainability risks include facility access, social constraints and media exposure; private investment and clear governance, dispute resolution and anti-corruption mechanisms will be critical to legal and commercial viability.
