Krisztián Kulcsár, the President of the HOC, the organisation's secretary general Bálint Vékássy and Hungarian Water Polo Association President Attila Vári comprised the delegation that travelled from the European country to meet senior sporting figures in Iran.

The trio held talks with the NOCIR Iran leadership and the country's Minister for Youth and Sport and entered an MoU which covers 11 sports.

This agreement will seek to promote increased collaboration between the HOC and NOCIR Iran.

"We had talks with the President of the National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mr Reza Salehi Amiri, a respected professor, ex-Minister for Culture and Youth and Sport, and Secretary General Mr Keykavous Saeidi," Vékássy explained.

"Then the two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at strengthening cooperation, organising training camps and the exchange of knowledge in various sports, including table tennis, wrestling, handball, canoe sprint, rowing, sailing, swimming, water polo, basketball, cycling and volleyball."

Following the discussions, the HOC representatives visited the Olympic Academy and the Olympic Museum in Tehran.

The Museum opened its doors to the public in 2019 and aims to "safeguard sports heritage" in Iran.

Hungary placed 15^th on the medal table at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, earning six golds, seven silvers and seven bronzes.

Historically, it is the eighth-most successful nation at the Summer Olympics with 181 gold medals.

Iran scooped three gold, two silver and two bronze medals in the Japanese capital.
