According to Mehr’s reporter, the World Cup of International Wrestling Clubs will be held in Isfahan, hosted by Sepahan, the champion of the premier league, with the participation of 6 domestic and foreign teams, but the time of its holding has been postponed. The World Open Wrestling Clubs Cup will be held in Tehran on the 28th of February, and one domestic team (Bank Shahr) and 5 foreign teams will participate in it.
In this regard, Hamid Yari, head of the Federation of Wrestling League organization, regarding the postponement of the World Club Cup wrestling competitions, said: The reason for this was the coincidence of the World Club Cup with the ranking fights in Cairo, Egypt, which the World Wrestling Federation insisted on changing this time. Due to the fact that the two events should not interfere with each other, and the organization and coordination conditions will be followed up by the international relations of the wrestling federation. The circular of this event will be published in the next few days.
Regarding the World Open Wrestling Clubs Cup, Yari also said: due to the withdrawal of the Petroblish team of Takestan and Massazan Hooten, prizes between 2 and 3 billion tomans will be expected for this competition. Considering that the discussion of financial amounts has always been of great importance for wrestlers, it is possible that half of the contracts of the teams in the Premier League will be considered for wrestlers as well. Also, considering that each team participated in the Premier League with 20 wrestlers, 25 to 30 domestic wrestlers are supposed to participate in the Bank Shahr team in the Club World Cup.
According to the announcement of the head of the league organization, in order to improve the quality of the matches, one team from Russia is going to participate in the freestyle wrestling competition, and the other 4 teams will probably be from Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
