Jamshidi’s birthday on Samad’s farewell day / the second confrontation between Iran and France

According to the IRNA correspondent, the competition started at 5:30 AM on Saturday, August 30, Tehran time at the Saitama Super Arena.

Whatever the outcome of this match, France will remain in fourth place in Group A with two victories against the United States and the Czech Republic and Iran with a defeat against these two teams.

Iran and France last met in the 2014 World Basketball Cup in Spain, which ended in a narrow difference with a result of 81 to 76 in favor of France.

Nine people are still in the squad for the 2014 match, including Thomas Hertel, Ivan Fournier, Rudi Gubert and Nicolas Batum for the French, and Hamed Haddadi, Samad Nikkhah Bahrami, Arsalan Kazemi, Behnam Yakhchali and Mohammad Jamshidi for Iran.

Mohammad Jamshidi is celebrating his 30th birthday on this day, and according to rumors and evidence, Iranian captain Samad Nikkhah Bahrami will say goodbye to the national team at the end of the match after about 20 years in the senior national team and at the age of 38.

Prohibition of photographing the Iran-France basketball match

Volunteers at the Saitamara Super Arena, where the Iran-France basketball match took place, prevented reporters from taking photos.

This is while it has been unprecedented in other halls. Of course, in the athletics hall, the volunteers did not allow the film and photos to be taken by the reporters in the mix zone of the place where the athletes were interviewed.

By law, journalists are not allowed to photograph in theaters. In all stadiums, reporters are not allowed to film an athlete for an interview. While most venues do not allow volunteers to take pictures of reporters from meetings.

In an interview with IRNA, one of the volunteers explained that journalists are not allowed to take pictures in some halls: “According to the law of the International Olympic Committee, journalists can not take pictures in the halls and only photographers and videographers are allowed to take pictures and videos.”
