Iran Loses to Switzerland at 2025 World Women's Handball Championship

For Iran, Fatemeh Merikh remained their best performer with three goals in what was a difficult start to the World Championship.

This marks the second time it has scored only nine goals at the flagship competition, and its second-lowest tally overall after scoring eight goals in 2021 against Angola.

Iran will play Hungary and Senegal on November 20 and December 1, respectively.
