Both teams will be making their debut in the pilot tournament, and will face off again on Tuesday to decide the title.
Bam Khatoon is the powerhouse of Iranian women football, having won eight Women’s Football League titles. It will head into the tournament with momentum on its side, having again emerged domestic champion in June.
Led by head coach Marziyeh Jafari, Bam Khatoon prepared well for the tournament.
“This competition helps women’s football, and I’m really glad to be competing here,” said Jafari.
