“We want to be one of the three Asian teams participating in the World Championship. Iran will take part in the FIBA-Asia Men’s Basketball Championship which will be held in Tianjin, China, from August 6th to 16th. We will defend our Asain championship in the tournament,” Mashhun said.
When asked about choosing a coach for Iran, he said, “We have negotiated with Italian, German, French, Spanish and Russian coaches. We would rather wait for the best choice.”
Iran could have beaten Russia and Argentina in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, if had not lost Mehdi Kamrani due to injury and Aidin Nikkhah Bahrami who passed away, IBF’s president concluded.
