Mohammad Reza Nasrollah Zadeh: It does not matter now who sponsored the Zurkhaneh sports and Pahlavani wrestling to be globalized. What is important at the present situation is that unlike the usual way to welcome warmly imported sports, we are now to export our own sport to the world.
No-one ever expected such a great welcome.
With a pleasant melody, young ? athletes interestedly and curiously engage in the sport. If until a few years ago, the signs of Takht, Meel, Kabbadeh, Sang, etc. were only found in Iran, now it is possible to observe these Iranian instruments in many countries.
Present Zurkhaneh and ancient sport athletes show unlimited interest in this Iranian sport. Motivations to engage in Zurkhaneh sports are now so widespread that make us happy more and more.
Today, officials of the International Zurkhaneh Sports Federation are no longer concerned about this sport, because they have been greatly successful to reach their goal. Of course, we have to remember that to export a sport course into the present world where everything is looked upon from a political point of view can be counted another major success. It does not matter now who has sponsored this. It is a great movement that has gained the world’s attention.

In Bangladesh, everything will be used properly when the country is to host the Asian Zurkhaneh Sports Championships.
They are to do their best. Minors were brought together to run a glorious opening and closing ceremonies, as well the tournament was held in its proper manner. Bangladesh should be expected in the size of Bangladesh. Neither more, nor less.
More important than hosting, it was their very high confidence that surprised everyone.
