The Iranian men’s national goalball team has registered an emphatic win at the third edition of Asian Youth Para Games in the United Arab Emirates, and crushed Iraq in its third showdown.
The Iranian squad routed the Iraqi outfit 8-1 in a match played in Dubai on Tuesday evening.
The Iranian men’s national goalball team is scheduled to take on Thailand in its next match on Wednesday.

The third edition of Asian Youth Para Games kicked off on December 8, and will finish on December 14, 2017.
Goalball is a team sport designed specifically for male and female athletes with a visual impairment. Participants compete in teams of three, and try to throw a ball that has bells embedded in it into the opponents' goal.
Teams alternate throwing or rolling the ball from one end of the playing area to the other, and players remain in the area of their own goal in both defense and attack. Players must use the sound of the bell to judge the position and movement of the ball. Games consist of two 12-minute halves.
