“Congratulations to the young wrestlers. The determination and effort of you and your brothers in freestyle wrestling will make the country happy and proud of your country. I pray to God for your success and victory, and congratulate your athletes, coaches and managers,” the leader’s message read.
Iran’s Greco-Roman wrestling team won the championship title at the 2025 World Wrestling Championships in Croatia, winning more than planned with an impressive medal tally.
The Greco-Roman World title comes just days after Iranian freestyle wrestlers also wrote history by winning the championship title 12 years later with a record seven medals.
Iran rose to the top with 145 points, with 134 points for the US 134 points and Japan followed with 111 points.
It is the first time in Iran’s wrestling history that both Freestyle and Greco-Roman teams have won the World Championship title in the same year. \
