Shahrdari Sirjan came out tops in the 2021 Kowsar Women Football League regular season, netting 48 goals to advance to the Final Round, where it pipped seven-time champion Khatoon to the title.
“Preparations for the tournament have been smooth so far with about two months of solid pre-season training,” said Motevalli.
“I think our team is at the peak of readiness and we are focused for the upcoming matches."
Motevalli, who played an integral part in Iran’s qualification for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2022, believes Shahrdari Sirjan can improve further heading into the tournament.
“It’s a blessing that we won the domestic league title for the first time and that another opportunity has been given to us to participate in the AFC Women’s Club Championship.
“We have the potential to elevate our game further in this competition and I hope this upward trend will continue in Jordan.
“This tournament is very important for us, competing with some of the best teams in Asia. We are fully prepared for battle and will treat each match as a final.
“We are ready to create history. The team is motivated because expectations are high and we want to be worthy representatives for Iran.”
Shahrdari Sirjan will begin the campaign against Uzbekistan champion FC Bunyodkor on Sunday with Gokulam Kerala FC of India three days later before playing Jordan’s Amman Club on November 13.
