Mousavi Hopes Foolad’s Success Would Inspire Iranian Volleyball Teams
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Foolad Sirjan middle blocker Mohammad Mousavi says that Iranian volleyball teams lack the confidence to face the top teams in the world.
Foolad Sirjan clinched the third place in the 2024 Men's Club World Championship Sunday night.
The Iranian team defeated Italian team Cucine Lube Civitanova 3-2 (23-25, 25-23, 21-25, 26-24, 19-17).
“I think that Iranian teams haven’t had the confidence to face the top teams in the world over the last few years, both at the club and the international levels,” Mousavi said.
“I hope this result shows that we can play against anyone. We have many great players in Iran and can get good results,” he added.
Brazilian Sada Cruzeiro claimed its fifth FIVB Club World Championship title in Uberlândia, defeating Italian rival Itas Trentino 3-1 (25-22, 20-25, 25-16, 25-22).
