Women’s Futsal Has Bright Future in Iran, Coach Soleymani Says
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian national futsal team's coach Forouzan Soleymani said that his girls have a bright future after winning the inaugural edition of the AFC Women’s Futsal Championship on Saturday.
Iran defeated Japan 1-0 thanks to a first half’s Fereshteh Karimi strike.
“My players played very well and our tactics worked, so, I’d like to congratulate my players for the determination they put in the game," Soleymani said.
“But then it was an extremely difficult match as Japan was the favorite and had very good discipline, tactics and techniques. They really made the game tough for us, but we managed to overcome them."
“We had done a lot in preparation for this game and our patience and perseverance had paid off with this championship. I believe the future of Iranian women’s futsal is bright now and we are looking forward to participating in more international championships in the future,” she added.
