Iran sitting volleyball team to play scrimmage against Russia in Oct.
Russia men's national sitting volleyball team is going to play a friendly fixture against Iran as part of preparations for the 2017 ParaVolley Europe Sitting Volleyball Championships.
Head coach of Iran's national sitting volleyball team Hadi Rezaei announced on Tuesday that the friendly match will be played in October.
Rezaei said the Islamic Republic of Iran Paralympic Committee (IRIPC) had received two request letters from Germany and Russia for friendly matches with Iran men's national sitting volleyball team.
The German men’s national sitting volleyball team is currently in Tehran, and playing games against Iran's national under-21 sitting volleyball team as well as a number of sports clubs, he added.
Rezaei further noted that the Netherlands had also asked for an international friendly match in Tehran, but Iran could not provide a response because it is too busy with the demonstration games against Germany and Russia.
The 2017 ParaVolley Europe Sitting Volleyball Championships for Men and Women will take place in Poreč, Croatia, from November 4 to November 12.
The Championship will qualify teams to the 2018 World ParaVolley Sitting Volleyball World Championships in the Netherlands.
