Liverpool will have tons of visiting stars in November.
The World’s Strongest Nation (WSN) Annual is a battle of proper strength between two international superstars. This year, with former World’s Strongest Man (WSM) champions Eddie Hall (2017) and Martins Licis (2019) once again captaining Team UK and Team USA respectively, the contest is sure to present another entertaining challenge in Liverpool, England. That’s especially true now that both superstars know who’s on their team.
On July 22, 2023, the Giants Live organization, which organizes the WSN and promotes the competition, revealed full rosters for Team UK and Team USA through his Instagram page. Both lineups are star-studded with some of the biggest active names in strongman and strongwoman. The contest is scheduled to take place across the pond on November 18, 2023.
Here’s an overview of Team UK’s WSN 2023 roster:

With such a diverse catalog of achievements and repertoire of skill sets, WSN 2023 looks like a balanced matchup of strength on paper between the two teams.
There aren’t many team-oriented contests in strongman and strongwoman, let alone like the WSN, that feature as many accomplished athletes. One thing is certain: these two teams should put on a unique show in Liverpool this autumn.
