October 2017NUSSLI has already built the arena 20 times over. The first NUSSLI ESAF in Zug was in 1961. The grandstand will now, 58 years later, once again be built in Zug, this time, however, with twice as many spectator seats.
Construction of the "Zug arena" will begin in mid June, 2019, just in time for "the bad boys" to enter the saw dust ring on August 23rd. Each one of them with the goal of being crowned the new wrestling king following the event's final day on August 25th.
