According to IRNA sports correspondent, “Arash Mirasmaili” stated in a press conference today (Sunday): “Considering all the coronary restrictions and suspensions, this year we can hold the Super League and Omid League.” Last year, we held the tournament with more difficult conditions and we had more difficult conditions to hold the tournament, however, the teams and judokas still participated in the league with high motivation. This year, we have definitely included the Under-23 League (Omid) in the program. There are 4 teams in the Omid age group and 2 teams in the Super League.
He added: the conditions of the professional league and the situation of judokas should be improved. Of course, we want to have more sponsors in judo, but unfortunately it is difficult to encourage clubs to participate in the Judo League because they are interested in investing in football, and this is not good, and I hope the clubs help other disciplines and big clubs in other disciplines like Judo. To attend.
The president of the Judo Federation said: “The quality and technical level of the judokas will definitely improve, because they have passed the basic category of national camps and the adults have experienced a joint international camp and a grand prize, and the technical conditions of our league are better.”
The holder of 2 gold and bronze medals of the World Judo Championship continued: The Iraqi national judo team is now in Iran and next month our youth teams will go to Turkey and the adult national team will participate in the Tunisian camp after Eid. These activities are promising. If you suspend us, but judo is alive in Iran and we are active at the international level, and we have an international camp and a memorandum of understanding with neighboring countries, and we show our authority to the world and the world federation.
He added: “It has been announced everywhere that sport is separate from politics, but this issue has now been completely ignored and sport has been politicized, and when we insisted on our ideals, the whole world became silent.” But today we proved that our work is right and you politicize sports and we did not politicize; Why did a chess player who is a citizen of another country compete with the Zionist regime, but now they say that he should not compete against the representative of Russia, and this is God’s grace.
Mirasmaili pointed out that the ruling of the Supreme Court of Sports (CAS) will be issued in the next two weeks, adding: “We hit the suspension technically and the day we handed over judo, there were 3,000 judokas in the country, but now with the conditions of suspension, it has reached 5,000.” Is. We exposed all the fringes and people inside the country who got their hands on judo, how they consulted with foreigners against the country, and they want Iran not to be present in international arenas for personal gain and a few foreign trips. We could have shone internationally in these two years without further suspension, and I hope the judo community is awake.
He also said: “Our meetings in Iraq and the presence of Iranian teams in Turkey and new agreements and joint camps show that we will continue to work with all the betrayals of some people inside the country, stoning and marginalization with power.” The judo community has always been aware and everyone knows that we defended judo ruthlessly and kissed the hand of every loved one who helped us, but we are not joking with anyone. If someone is looking to lose the right to judo, we are not joking and all our efforts are to have the lowest cost league matches and to hold the matches with the lowest margins and high quality.
The Judo League was drawn
“We held the league draw today,” Mirasmaili, president of the Judo Federation, told reporters. There are 13 teams in the Futurists League, there must be at least 2 teenagers in the team, which aims to create dynamism in the grassroots. Last year we did not hold these competitions because of Corona, but this year we will hold a special one and the selected individuals will be invited to the national team.
He added: The Judo Super League was held last year with the presence of 16 teams; This year, with a professional look, the conditions for the teams to participate in the league became more difficult, and these competitions will be held with the participation of 9 teams. The salaries of judokas have multiplied this year.
Documents of cooperation of some internal people with foreigners
The President of the Judo Federation stated: “These days we have found documents that some collaborated with foreigners, I share these documents with the judiciary and it is unfortunate that an Iranian is in contact with foreigners and officials of the World Federation and exchanged information and should Deal with these people. Friends should know that we hit the suspension no matter how hard they tried to disappoint us, but we were not disappointed. I made revelations and I do not want to say that the traitor is an athlete or a coach. Our country’s judo was not suspended for “Arash Mirasmaili” but because of politics. Sports traitors are in all disciplines. Some officials say I should not look at the documents. I expect the judiciary to deal with this espionage issue. Why should aliens have our information?
Mirasmaili said: “In the previous case, we did our best, which was a permanent suspension, and the precondition of the World Federation was the fight of our country’s representatives against the Zionist regime athletes, and we broke this suspension in the Supreme Sports Court and it was reduced to four years.” We defended vigorously. Politics is put at the forefront of sports, and there have been lobbies in the ruling of the Supreme Court of Sports, but whatever the vote, it is good and we will continue with strength.
Operation of 12 judo houses
He added: “We operated 12 judo houses in two years and we will operate the Judo Academy in April.”
The gold medalist of the World Cup also said: “We have several big clubs that are always looking for football and this issue will affect other disciplines.” Fields such as judo are oppressed, and the whole contract of a club is not as great as that of a second-class footballer. We asked many big clubs to participate in the league, they promise, but unfortunately they do not answer us after that. There are no big clubs in wrestling or volleyball.
