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.
