Iran Claims World Super 6 Sitting Volleyball Title

Having gone through its five pool matches undefeated, the Paralympic champion capped off its tournament with another victory at the Sadra Sports Hall.

Iran overpowered Russia 3-0 (25-21, 25-23, 28-26) in the final match.

“I am satisfied with our performance in the competition. I am also glad for discovering new talented players in the event. I think the future is bright for Iran sitting volleyball,” Iran coach Hadi Rezaei said.

In the bronze medal match, Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated Ukraine 3-0 (25-21, 25-18, 25-20).

Germany finished fifth after overcoming the United States 25-18, 31-29, 23-25, 25-19 in a play-off.

This is the second edition of the international competition, which only included women’s teams last year and saw Russia take the gold medal in Hangzhou in China.
