According to the timetable, Iran will begin the campaign in Tokyo with a match against the 2018 world champion Poland on July 24.
The postponed Olympics will be held from July 23 to August 8 in the Japanese capital of Tokyo.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the International Olympic Committee and the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games earlier this year rescheduled the Games for 2021.
The schedule for volleyball competition remains the same as the original plan but just moved to the next year.

Iran has been drawn in Pool A along with Japan, Poland, Italy, Canada, and Venezuela.
Pool B consists of Brazil, the US, Russia, Argentina, France, and Tunisia.
