Iranian Referee Appointed to Officiate at 2025 World Games in China

Tehran - BORNA - Mehdi Mokhtari, an internationally certified squash referee and the current Head of the Refereeing Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran Squash Federation, has been selected as one of the official referees for the prestigious 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China.

This major global event, set to take place from August 7 to 17, will bring together elite athletes and referees from non-Olympic disciplines around the world. Mokhtari’s inclusion in the officiating team marks a significant milestone in the recognition and establishment of Iranian referees on the international stage.

Previously, Mokhtari officiated the final of the Asian Championships held in Dalian, China, and was recently appointed Secretary General of the West Asia Squash Confederation — a role that further underlines his credibility and leadership within the regional and global squash communities.

His participation in the World Games is not only a source of pride for Iran’s squash community but also a testament to the growing reputation and capability of Iranian referees in international competitions.
