2019 September Grand Sumo Tournament
The Grand Sumo Tournament will return to the Ryogoku Kokugikan
Sumo has grown in popularity in recent years, so tickets are sold out in all tournaments. The Grand Sumo will return to Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Hall in September.
In the September tournament, in addition to Yokozuna Kakuryu (鶴竜) who won the previous tournament, attention will be drawn to the success of young wrestlers. It is also drawing attention whether the three Ozeki who were absent from the previous tournament and Takakeisho (貴景勝) who dropped out of Ozeki due to injury would participate in this tournament.
