According to the Mehr correspondent, Mohammad Mosalaeipour, the head of the Wrestling Federation’s refereeing commission and one of our country’s Olympic judges, recently became a member of the World Union’s refereeing commission. This was while the Iranian wrestling refereeing community could not win a significant seat in refereeing after the late Mehdi Khaledi, who had a very high position in world wrestling refereeing.
In 2020, the World Wrestling Union announced the names of 13 people to serve on the jury, and Nenad Lalovich, the president of the World Wrestling Union, will soon announce the position of each of them in an online meeting. Thus, on the second day of March (March 11), this meeting will be held in the presence of Lalovic and Antonio, the chairman of the jury of the World Union, in order to determine the position of the 13 members of the commission.
Also, at the beginning of 2022, Mohammad Maslaei-Pour and Nima Sadeghi, two S1 Olympic referees from our country, were selected as assistant coaches of the World Wrestling Union to travel to Turkey on March 16 to participate in a one-week judging course.
“This is the first year we have won this seat, we should not have high expectations at the beginning of the work,” Mohammad Mosalaeipour, who also refereed at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, said in a televised interview. We have to show ourselves and our technical ability so that the world union becomes more aware of Iran’s arbitration position. Also, having an international referee seat is in favor of Iranian wrestling, because if we have a strong seat, it will be very effective in the process of sensitive and decisive struggles on the world and Olympic arenas. “In fact, in these ships, a positive opinion and privilege will be given to someone whose country has a stronger seat in the world ship.”
Regarding the non-demotion of Iranian referees in the last two years, he said: “This happened only through correspondence between the federation’s international relations and the president of the federation. Do not have. “It was sponsored by Iran, and this year the international judges were given a chance.”
According to the Mehr correspondent, Maslaeipour, as the head of our country’s wrestling arbitration commission, recently visited the ship house and explained the latest arbitration rules and regulations for freemen and foreigners sent to Bulgaria.
