Iran 3X3 Ends Olympic Qualifying Stint
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s women’s basketball 3X3 team fell short in its campaign in the FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
The Iranian team, who had already lost to Japan and Thailand on Day1 in Pool B, was defeated against Ukraine 17-7 and Australia 22-2 on Friday.
Iran finished its stint in Graz without a victory.
The last opportunity to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 will take place at the FIBA 3x3 Universality Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Debrecen in Hungary from June 4 to 6.
That will finally determine the full extent of the 16 teams - eight men’s, eight women’s - that will make Olympic history from July 24 to 28, and offer one berth for each gender.
