Iran’s table tennis team to compete in Belarus tourney

TEHRAN, Apr. 20 (MNA) -- Nafto Gaz Gachsaran will compete in the 2008 Open Table Tennis Tournament, which is being held in Minsk, Belarus from May 22 to 25.

Mohammad Reza Akhlagh-Pasand and Afshin Noruzi will represent Iran at the tourney.

Iran’s national team duo intend to move up in the world rankings in Belarus, the ITTF secretary said on Sunday.

“The organizers will not pay for the teams’ travel expenses, so only teams that believe they have a good chance to win cash prizes are likely to compete in the event,” Ali Ghardashi added.
