Iran’s Women Football Team Loses to Belarus in Friendly


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s national women’s football team was defeated against Belarus in a friendly match on Saturday.

The Iranian team lost to the visiting team 1-0 in Tehran’s Ararat Stadium.

“It was a good opportunity for us to test ourselves. I think we could have scored but our strikers wasted their chances. We had goalscoring problem in the Indian tournament,” Iran coach Maryam Azmoun said.

The Iranian team will play Belarus once again on Tuesday.

Iran prepares for the second round of 2020 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament which is going to be held in April.
