Mehr Alizadeh: Holding the "Zorkhaneh" World War is a valuable national action

The press conference of the third round of the world wrestling and wrestling competitions was held.

I didn't think this case would be so effective. Forgiveness, peace, dedication, politeness and respect exist in this discipline. A person who becomes strong mentally can also be strong physically. We have to show the world that there are cultural and internal issues in the country and we started our work with this goal. The field is known in 85 countries and I did not believe that we would reach this volume in these 13 years. We sent many trainers to different countries to give training. When we wanted to start this federation, the zorkhaneh field was slowly being forgotten and the zorkhanehs had turned into daisy-sera, but now it has grown well. At present, the words "Murshid" and "Shilset" as well as Persian poems are used all over the world.

Mehralizadeh added: Today  The whole world is joining hands to make our country unsafe,‌ But we are known as a safe island in the region, and the importance of establishing the world federation of this field in Iran shows itself more than ever. For a period, the competition was supposed to be held in another country, but we brought it to Iran. Currently, 24 countries have registered for the third round of the world championships, and about 103 athletes will come to Iran. Europe, Asia and Africa countries come to Iran. At the moment, we have not invested in Latin America due to its high costs, because the situation in terms of sponsorship is not very good and the government cannot help us in this situation. Based on this, we have settled for the minimum possible.

He pointed to the history of the world championships in this field and said: The first round was held in 2008 with the participation of 11 countries in South Korea. Iraq won the championship. In the second period, which was in 2016, 19 countries with the presence of 120 athletes competed in Indonesia, and Iran won the championship. In addition, continental competitions are held every two years.

Referring to the conditions of the teams' presence in this course, he said: "The teams are a week earlier for the camp." and will come to Iran for training and will train in the three provinces of Kurdistan, South and North Khorasan. January 28 is the arrival of the teams to Bojnord, the venue of the competition, and the weigh-in will take place on the 29th. On the 30th day, team competitions, individual arts on the 1st of Bahman, and wrestling competitions on the 2nd of Bahman will be held. In response to the question that one of the objections to your federation is why the government should give funds, he said: In all federations that countries have established, governments help. For example, Japan receives 5.5 million dollars from the government after 70 years of starting judo, or South Korea receives 3 million dollars for taekwondo in the same way. We are just starting and we need support and help. They have a history of 70 years and are already known among sponsors. In this direction, the government should help us, because this field expands the culture of the country. So that some countries don't name this field under their name, he said: Fortunately, with the arrival of Alireza Debir in the wrestling federation, there was a good understanding in this field, and he held the first meeting with the head of the wrestling federation and announced that we have no involvement in this field. , but we will help you. At the global level, our previous secretary was Fila, who of course never made any claims and we had no disputes. Of course, one or two Iranians started a federation in Lithuania called wrestling, which was a very bad thing. I hope this issue will be resolved because neither the Lithuanian government nor Iran will help them. We take care that this field is only available to Iran. We are in the positions we should be in the world so that the ownership of this field is not endangered. "Whether he gets it or not," he said: "We will help the league to be held in different countries, but in any case, a country that has only two clubs, which is Belarus, will take time to start the league."
