According to Mehr News Agency, after the official invitation of the President of the American Wrestling Federation from the Iranian wrestling authorities to hold a team-to-team meeting in this country, the website of the American Wrestling Federation announced the time of holding these competitions.
“Iran is one of the traditional powers of freestyle wrestling with many world and Olympic champions,” the US Wrestling Federation website said. The friendly competition between Iran and the United States dates back to a few decades ago, and the last time the Iranian team was in the United States was in 2016 at the World Cup in Los Angeles.
Watching US and Iranian wrestling matches traditionally attracts large crowds in both countries.
“Wrestling is beyond politics and there is nothing better than this friendly rivalry between Iran and the United States,” said Rich Bandar, director of US wrestling. These two countries are the best freestyle wrestling countries in the world, and we are happy that the American team has the opportunity to fight one of the strongest teams in the world.
According to the schedule, a friendly match between Iran and the United States will be held on February 14 in Arlington, Dallas, Texas.
