Tamawashi, who won the first place and returned to Komusubi, will face Ichinojo on the first day.
The Japan Sumo Association held an initiative organization meeting at the Fukuoka International Center in Fukuoka City on the 11th and decided on the first and second days of the Kyushu tournament starting on the 13th.
Tamawashi, a veteran who won his second victory in September's Autumn Tournament and returned to the san'yaku ranks for the first time in about three years, was set to face Ichinojo, a Hiramaku who won the Nagoya Tournament on the first day.
In past matches, Tamawashi has lost 9 wins and 11 losses.
For Tamawashi, the point is whether or not you can decide the match at once with the thrust sumo that you showed in the previous place, and for Ichinojo, it is important to take the mawashi and bring it into your form.
Shoen Komusubi, who has won 10 wins in the first place, will face Masayo Ozeki, who will face his fifth kadoban on the first day.
Sekiwake Wakatakakage, who has won all the main places so far this year and has the most wins of the year, will play against Takayasu, a flat curtain who is involved in the battle for the first place.
In addition, Ozeki Takakage will face Komusubi Daieisho, and Mitakeumi, who is aiming to return to Ozeki as a sekiwake, will face Akio, the second maegashira.
Yokozuna Terunofuji will be absent from the first day of the Kyushu Tournament.
The Grand Sumo Kyushu Tournament will open on the 13th at the Fukuoka International Center in Fukuoka City.
