Qasemi underscored that the decision has been made after a federal judge in Seattle blocked part of US President Donald Trump's controversial executive order on visa ban and also the demands of the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) and the Islamic Republic of Iran Wrestling Federation aimed at issuing visa for the American wrestlers.
The 45th round of the 2017 Freestyle World Cup is scheduled to be held with the attendance of eight top world teams in western province of Kermanshah on February 16-17.
