Aref Mohammadi Claims 63kg Bronze for Qatar in Ulaanbaatar

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia – Team Qatar continued its impressive run at the 2025 Ulaanbaatar Greco-Roman Wrestling Open, as Aref Hussain Mohammadi clinched the bronze medal in the fiercely contested 63kg category on Friday. The Qatari wrestler delivered a commanding performance to defeat Iran’s Mohammad Mahdi Abbas in a high-caliber bout that showcased technical precision and grit.

Mohammadi’s podium finish comes just one day after his teammate Shaheen Mohammed captured gold in the 82kg division, underlining Qatar’s rising momentum on the international wrestling stage.

The prestigious tournament, part of the United World Wrestling's World Ranking Series, is being held in the Mongolian capital from May 29 to June 1, 2025. It has drawn over 200 elite wrestlers from around the globe, including strong contingents from Mongolia, India, and Iran.

This latest achievement marks another milestone for Qatari wrestling, reflecting the country’s determined efforts to strengthen its presence in the global wrestling arena. The Ulaanbaatar Open serves as the third stop in the 2025 ranking series and offers vital opportunities for wrestlers to boost their standings ahead of major upcoming events such as the World Championships and the Olympic Games.

Commenting on the result, Mr. Abdullah Hamad Al-Musaifri, Assistant Secretary-General of the Qatar Boxing and Wrestling Federation, expressed his pride: 
"We are delighted to see our medal tally grow with this well-earned bronze. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our champion Aref for his commendable performance. We hope this upward trajectory continues as we strive for excellence and success in continental and international competitions. Our ambitions remain high as we pursue even greater achievements."

Team Qatar’s wrestling squad remains fully engaged in the tournament, driven by the ambition to add more medals and further its strategic vision of developing a competitive generation of athletes capable of representing Qatar with distinction on the world stage.
