Iran Futsal Team Win FIFA Confederations Cup

Alright! In these low days of our football, we at least have our Futsal team to make us proud.

Iran Futsal team, the reigning Asian Champions, defeated Libya 1-0 in their final match to win of Futsal’s Confederation Cup. Along the way they defeated CONMEBOL, CONCACAF and OFC Champions Uruguay (4-2), Guatemala (4-2), and Solomon Islands (6-0). Spain, the European Champions, did not participate in the tournament.

Iran has dominated Asian Futsal. They have won nine out of ten Asian Championships; their only loss came in hands of an excellent Japanese team in the Semi-Finals of the 2006 tournament. The Japanese went on to defeat Uzbekistan in the final match.
