Mohammad Reza Golzar Visits Wrestling Federation and Meets Alireza Dabir

Mohammad Reza Golzar visited the Iran Wrestling Federation and the national teams’ training camp on Monday, September 21, 2026, where he met with Alireza Dabir, the president of the Iranian Wrestling Federation. The meeting quickly attracted attention because Golzar is one of Iran’s best-known actors and entertainers, while Dabir is one of the country’s most prominent wrestling figures and a former Olympic and world champion.

Reports published on September 21 said that Golzar was present at the national teams’ camp and met with Dabir during his visit to the federation. Iranian media reports described the encounter as a meeting between the popular actor and singer and the wrestling federation president, with photographs from the visit circulating online.

The visit has generated interest beyond the wrestling community because Mohammad Reza Golzar and Alireza Dabir come from very different professional backgrounds. Golzar is primarily known for Iranian cinema, music, television and entertainment, while Dabir built his public profile through elite wrestling before moving into sports administration.

The meeting also comes after Golzar’s previous involvement in Iranian sport. He served for a period as the head of Iran’s national padel team and has repeatedly spoken publicly about his interest in sports and athletic training. His appearance at the wrestling federation therefore connects two different sides of his public career: entertainment and sport.

At the same time, the visit has prompted renewed discussion about Alireza Dabir’s public profile, his management of Iranian wrestling, his relationship with celebrities and public figures, and the criticism that has surrounded some of his statements and decisions over the years.
