Ondokuz Mayıs University is home to the Athletes' Village, while competition is spread across four venues.

Boxing, karate and wushu are all to be held at the university, while muaythai athletes are to be welcomed to the Ilkadim Okculuk Sport Hall, one of the facilities affiliated with the Samsun Youth Services and Sports Provincial Directorate.

Wrestling and sambo are set to take place in Mustafa Dagistanli Sport Hall.

Samsun replaced Yekaterinburg as the late hosts of the World Cup, with the Turkish city being named as a replacement by FISU in May.

This was in response to the invasion of Ukraine, which led to Russia and Belarus being stripped of several sporting events in response to their involvement in the conflict.
