It is a country where he has enjoyed success before, having reached the semi-finals of the China Open.

We caught up with him to look back on that run and find out more about snooker in Iran…. Hossein if we can go back to the start, how did you originally get into playing snooker?

I remember the first time I became aware of it, at the age of six, my dad was away from home. He took my hand and we went to the club and he started teaching me how to play.

I will never forget that day. Two years later, at the age of eight, I won my first tournament. Considering there was a time that snooker was banned in Iran, things have clearly changed completely with the sport becoming very popular there.

What is your vision for the future of snooker in Iran? However, there was a generational change and people started loving snooker. Clubs have completely changed and they are very nice places to go to.

I am very happy that snooker is getting bigger in my country and in the Middle East. Iran is very capable of hosting a tournament.

I hope that one day there will be a professional event in Iran. That would be great for the country and it would be fantastic for more people to travel there and learn the history of Iran.
