TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran will begin the FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2021 Division B with a match against Lebanon on Sunday.
Team Melli will also play Syria on Monday in Group A.

The tournament takes place between November 7 and 13 and is hosted by Jordan, who recently hosted the FIBA Women's Asia Cup, which was won by Japan.
A total of six nations will compete in this Division B tournament. They have been split into two groups and will try to make it to the knockout stages.
Four teams will land in the Semi-Finals, while two countries will miss out. The main prize at the event is that the eventual winner will move up and replace the recently relegated India at the next edition of the FIBA Women's Asia Cup in 2023.
