So proud of these girls. I didn't think they can beat Japan with this core. And with all the limitations they have compared to the other teams.

Back to back tournament MVP honours for Asia's great Karimi

Iran celebrated a second consecutive AFC Women’s Futsal Championship final win over Japan, Fereshteh Karimi continued the theme and confirmed herself as a continental great by winning the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award for the second time.
“For women’s sport in Iran, the futsal team is the only team that has the ability to be an Asian champion,” she said.
“The national teams in other sports don’t have this ability and that’s why this is so important.
“Iranians are very emotional people, especially our women. This championship is the big opportunity for us to be more famous in the country, and the way we dress is unique and different from the other teams.
“All the people, especially our families, are so happy about this achievement.”
The 29-year-old graciously accepted the award, but said team success was at the forefront of her goals before thanking Iran’s technical staff.
“First of all I was thinking about how I could help the team. I knew that if I could help the team then I could be the MVP of the tournament,” she revealed.
“Before the final our staff analysed Japan for us very well. We had two sessions of analysing them and our plan was to make Japan tired in the first half, then try to score in the second half.
“That was our plan and thankfully it worked. We really need to give our thanks to our staff.”
Iran head coach Shahrzad Mozafar paid tribute to Karimi, saying her dual achievement is evidence of her standing as one of the game’s greats.
“Congratulations to Fereshteh,” she said. “To be the MVP of the tournament for the second time means that she is one of the really great players in Asia and, to me, in the world.”
Iran’s hat-trick hero in the final, Sara Shirbeigi won the award for the tournament’s top scorer. The 26-year-old finished level with teammate Fatemeh Etedadi and Japan’s Anna Amishiro with nine goals, but won the award by virtue of contributing three assists, compared to her competitors’ two.
Karimi thanked her teammates, giving special praise to the goal scoring duo as well as start goalkeeper Farzaneh Tavasoli.
“All the Iranian players are the MVP, and they should all be here beside me accepting this award.
“The top scorers, Sara and Fatemeh have been among the best players in this tournament, as well as our goalkeeper Farzaneh.”
Iran also claimed the Fair Play Award to take a clean sweep of the honours.

Women's futsal team had a friendly with Russia in Tehran. They lost 5-1. The Russian team played with no hejab as if they are playing outside Iran. IFF had many photos but they took it down I think the misogynists in power warned them to take it down. I am happy this happened anyway. There is another match scheduled for tomorrow. I could only find this one photo. This is great experience for Women's futsal team since Russia is getting ready for the UEFA championship.

Go Women's Futsal Team!

Even Saudi women's team play with no forced hijab. I guess its just IR Iran that does it. Shame. Even Pele congratulated them.

Hopefully one day our women can get the same rights as others! Such a shame.

taremiscores jaan, it's way more than just a shame. It's simply disgusting that in the third decade of 21st century our women are subject to such medieval laws. If some want to choose to wear all that, it's their choice (like Jordan's national team and others in Asia). Forcing them is inhumane and medieval. Pure and simple. I hope to live to see a peaceful end to this tragedy.

Go Women's Futsal TM!
