The spaghetti bridge tournament is very important in Iran and is held every period with a certain excitement We are witnessing an interesting record in each period.

Is one of the biggest dream in spaghetti bridge building construction is participation in international tournament in Budapest that seems a unattainable dream for us because of the high cost and the strict requirements of the Schengen VISA.

The high cost of travel and accommodation and strict conditions embassy for a visa makes us unable to be present at the tournament.

With promises from several companies to pay the costs, 6 months ago we started to design and construct test for the World Championships in Budapest That we got a good result And we were quite ready for the race and moving record of the previous year. Unfortunately, in recent weeks the sponsor did not fulfill their promises and made no attempt to send a team and from this moment all our efforts are fruitless, participation in the RECCS remains for us a dream.

Hoping to hold a very good competition with perfect record the hope of support from our team and presence in RECCS 2017.
