“We are glad that we can play in this event as my team is young and I hope that they will get a good learning experience from this tournament,” Mitra Shabanian, the Iranian team’s coach said.
After the three-day pool plays, January 10 will be a rest day, with teams finishing 3rd and 4th places from each pool clashing out of the competition and returning home.
