Asia Cup; An opportunity to assert the right of Iranian basketball

According to IRNA, the students of Saeed Armaghani, after confirming their promotion to the next stage of the World Cup selection, now have to face their rivals in Indonesia. Iran’s first game in the Asian Cup is on the 22nd of July against Syria, a team that failed to compete against the Iranian team in two round-robin matches in the World Cup selection window and lost the result in Tehran and Aleppo.

The second game of our country’s skyscrapers is on July 24 against Kazakhstan, a team that has a good average height and has a physical and strong game on its agenda. Of course, they defeated the Iranian team in both matches held in the third window of the World Cup. We lost to this team 69-73 in Tehran and in an away match with all our stars in attendance, it was us who lost 68-69. Now, the Asian Cup will be the perfect opportunity to make up for this result.

The third game of Armaghani’s students in this competition is against the Japanese team, a match that will be held on July 26, and it remains to be seen how the performance of the new technical staff of the Iran national basketball team will be in this competition.

Two teams from each group will qualify for the next stage of this competition. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Indonesia are in the first group, Chinese Taipei, China, Korea and Bahrain are in the second group and India, Lebanon, Philippines and New Zealand are in the fourth group.

The file of these competitions will be closed on the second day of August when the face of the Asian Cup champion will be determined, and it remains to be seen which team will rely on the basketball summit of this continent at the end.
