TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran lost to Thailand 7-1 to suffer its third straight defeat in Group B of the AFC U-19 Women’s Championship on Sunday.

Iran, who has suffered back-to-back losses against Korea Republic and DPR Korea, finished in fourth place in the group.

“This tournament has been a very good experience and we are very happy to be here. We have to learn from the teams that we have played here because they will help us develop; we want to be able to challenge them one day.”
