TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The executive committee of United World Wrestling has awarded Iran the right to host the 2018 Greco-Roman World Cup, a top Iranian official said.
The competition will take place in December.
The vice president of the Islamic Republic of Iran Wrestling Federation, Hamid Banitamim, said that UWW has accepted to award Tehran the right to host the competition.
Wrestling world cups have been held every year since the 1973 tournament. They began as dual-meet competitions for the top teams on each continent, but now feature the top teams in the rankings of the previous year's world championships.
