Iran Wrestling Federation signed a cooperation agreement with the Pacific Wrestling Federation (PWF), semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Saturday.

In an attempt to promote wrestling in the American and African continents, Iran has already inked similar contracts with the relevant institutions in both continents, the report said.
