Farsad Shahi and Amirmohammad Jamshidi won Iran’s first Asian Games men’s padel bronze on 3 October 2026, defeating compatriots Hami Golestan and Arya Roghani 6–3, 6–4 in Nagoya.

Iran had guaranteed a medal by placing two partnerships in the semi-finals. Both then lost, creating an all-Iranian contest for the remaining place on the podium.

Malaysia’s Christian Chin and Aidan Yunus stopped Shahi and Jamshidi in three sets in the semi-finals. Qatar’s Naif brothers beat Golestan and Roghani in two.

The bronze match settled which Iranian pair would receive the medals. Shahi and Jamshidi finished in straight sets, joining Qatar’s gold medallists and Malaysia’s silver medallists on the men’s podium.
