Iran’s Mokhtari among Players to Watch at 2025 AFC Beach Soccer
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup Thailand 2025 is set to be an exciting event with 16 teams eyeing the coveted title.
With kick-off just one day away, the-AFC.com takes a look at several players who will be pivotal to their respective teams’ bid to emerge champions.
Mohammad Ali Mokhtari has established himself as one of the most lethal forwards in beach soccer. A consistent goal poacher for Iran, Mokhtari has a reputation for scoring from difficult angles and producing highlight-reel goals.
His blend of speed, strength, and clinical finishing was instrumental in Iran’s 2023 title triumph. Mokhtari will once again be the focal point of attacking as the Iranian men aim to defend their crown in Pattaya.
Mokhtari’s impact was evident in the 2023 edition, where he netted nine goals -just two shy of tournament top scorer Takuya Akaguma- scoring in every match to underline his reliability on the big stage.
