TEHRAN – Iran will meet defending champion Brazil in the 2017 Beach Soccer Intercontinental Cup semi-final on Friday.
Iran battled back from 3-0 down to level with five minutes left of the final period but conceded a goal in extra time.
Group B second-placed Iran will face Group A top team Brazil, while Russia takes on Portugal.
The competition is an annual international beach soccer tournament contested by men’s national teams, held in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
After the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, the Intercontinental Cup is the biggest tournament in the current international beach soccer calendar. Similar to the FIFA Confederations Cup, eight nations will take part, with one team representing each of the six continental football confederations (except for the OFC) as well as the current World Cup champion, Brazil, and the host, the United Arab Emirates.
