TEHRAN, Nov. 13 (MNA) – Iran’s men’s team overpowered Kazakhstan 10-0 in their opening match of the 2023 IBSA Goalball Asia/Pacific Championships on Monday.

The national Iranian team are scheduled to play Mongolia and South Korea in the following days in Group B in Hangzhou, China.

Group A consists of China, Australia, Thailand, and Pakistan.

Iran, which won a bronze medal in the recent Asian Para Games, are in a very good position to get their ticket to Paris 2024.

The 2023 IBSA Goalball Asia / Pacific Championships is being held in Hangzhou, China, from November 10 to 19, 2023.

China will be participating, but they have already qualified for the Paralympics. Japan, which won a silver medal in the same competition, decided not to participate in this continental championship, opening up all the possibilities for the Persian squad.
