According to Varzesh3, citing Mehr, Hamidreza Rezaei, acting head of the Alborz Department of Sports and Youth, at the annual assembly of the province's Golf Board, referring to the shortage of sports infrastructure in Alborz, called for the Golf Federation's support to complete and equip the country's largest golf site in this province.

Referring to Alborz province's large population and its reception of migrants, he said: 'The province's sports infrastructure has not developed in proportion to the population and existing needs, and comparing Alborz's situation with provinces such as Isfahan shows a considerable infrastructure gap.'

Stating that the province's sports management operates in difficult conditions, he added: 'Despite the limitations and shortage of facilities, good measures have been taken in the field of championship sports, and winning about 15 to 20 colourful medals awaits final confirmation by the official authorities.'

The acting head of the Alborz Department of Sports and Youth announced: 'Planning is under way to hold a ceremony honouring the province's champions and medallists in the coming days, and it is predicted that this ceremony will be held before mid-Aban (around 6 November).'

Completing the Alborz golf site with the federation's support

Rezaei, referring to the opening and start of executive operations of the golf complex in Alborz province, said: 'Creating this complex provides an important opportunity for developing this sport in the country and the province, and the process of completing its various phases must be pursued with the support of the responsible agencies and the federation.'

He, appreciating the efforts of the officials of the province's Golf Board, especially Abbaszadeh, and the accompaniment of the managers and activists of this complex, stated: 'Advancing this plan is the result of continuous follow-up, interaction with executive agencies and the use of the province's various capacities.'

The acting head of the Alborz Department of Sports and Youth, stressing the necessity of supplying the equipment needed by the golf complex, noted: 'Completing the various phases of this complex takes time, and it is expected that the federation, with effective support, will provide the ground for speeding up the exploitation of its facilities.'

Rezaei, referring to the presence of the secretary general of the Golf Federation at the province's annual assembly, expressed hope that this meeting will lead to practical achievements for developing Alborz's golf infrastructure.

In another part of his remarks, he stressed the necessity of expanding student sport and said: 'The development of sports disciplines must start from schools, and sports boards, by identifying students' talents, must provide the ground for the new generation's presence in various disciplines.'

The acting head of the Alborz Department of Sports and Youth, referring to the importance of public sport and talent identification, called for formulating executive solutions for developing golf in schools and stressed the need for cooperation between the provincial board, the federation and the student sports complex.
