Iran futsal players fall to Spain in Victory Day Women Cup 2017
The national Iranian women's futsal team has gone down to a bitter defeat at the 8th edition of International Futsal Tournament for Women National Teams in Russia, and lost its opening match to the world’s vice champion, Spain.
On Saturday evening, Iranian sportswomen sustained a 0-7 loss at the hands of their Spanish counterparts at Crocus Expo in Krasnogorsk city. The Iranian team conceded two goals in the first half, while the rest were scored in the second.
“The Iranian team could rather play at the opposing team’s level in the first period. The match against Russia as the world’s third best beast is of great importance. The Czech squad is powerful as well,” Forouzan Soleimani, head coach of Iran women’s national futsal team, said after the match.
The national Iranian women's futsal team is scheduled to face Russia in its second fixture on Sunday.
The 8th edition of International Futsal Tournament for Women National Teams started in Russia on May 6, and will finish on May 9, 2016.
