After successfully defending the world title with the Greco-Roman wrestling national team, Iranian national coach Hassan Rangraz has spoken candidly about the fundamental role of team spirit and the indispensable support of the Iranian wrestling federation. Rangraz, who led his team to the world title for the second year in a row, praises the shared nature of the success: “We are all in the same boat, working together towards the same goals for Iran,” said the coach.
According to Rangraz, achieving top performance is only possible due to the solid infrastructure and modern facilities created by the federation. “Without these facilities and professional staff, our achievements would remain just a dream,” he added. The input of talented young athletes from all over the country, through a fair and transparent selection procedure, is especially essential. Players like Payam Ahmadi and Saeid Esmaeili have earned their places through performances on the mat, Rangraz said. This dropped the average age of the national team to 22 years and 3 months, which according to the coach indicates a bright future for the sport in Iran.

Rangraz further emphasizes that the selection system, in which every talented youngster has a chance of a place in the national team through performance, makes a big difference. This not only promotes competition, but contributes to structural stability: “Successes are no longer an isolated incident, but the result of a standardized approach within Iranian wrestling.”
The national coach then expresses his ambitions for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. "The battle for the championship is tough, but retaining it is even tougher. We will have to work even harder in the coming years." Previously, the team received international praise with high rankings in the 2022, 2023, 2024 World Cup rankings and gold again in2025. The focus now shifts to further developing the team with a view to international tournaments.
Finally, Rangraz recognizes responsibility in defeat and, as a leader, fully takes his role in analyzing and improving his team's performance. "Victory belongs to the people and the federation, but defeats belong to the technical staff. We look honestly at our mistakes and will continue to improve them." With fifteen medals across both wrestling disciplines, Iran underlines its status as a global superpower in the sport.
What's happening now
With the focus on young talent and a transparent selection system, it is expected that Iran will continue its strong performance in the future. Rangraz will remain committed to developing his team, with the aim of excelling not only at the World Championships, but also at the 2028 Olympic Games. The focus on young athletes like Payam Ahmadi and Saeid Esmaeili will be crucial in ensuring the future of wrestling in Iran.
