MNA – Tehran City Council held a ceremony today to appreciate the efforts of national women’s futsal team after crowning champion in Asia.


The ceremony was held in the open session of the council with the futsal team members in attendance.

“Problems and limitations of our girls and women in sports are numerous and needs special attention and review, and in this circumstances, Iran’s futsal team have won the title of AFC championship,” he added.

Appreciating the efforts of the team, Haghshenas went on to say that these achievements can have a major role in encouraging Iranian girls and women to peruse sports.
