Manama, Bahrain, August 2, 2024 – Iran confirmed their place in the semi-finals of the 15th Asian Men’s U18 Volleyball Championship after outclassing hosts Bahrain 3-0 (25-12, 25-20, 25-14) at the Isa Sport City Hall C on Friday night.
The win was their second in Pool E in the Top Eight and they went to seven points to finish as runners-up in their group. The Iranians set up a thrilling clash with defending champions Japan in the last four on Saturday.
The Bahrainis were eliminated from further title contention and will play in the 5th-8th classification bracket.
Iran showed their quality and were immediately in command with a one-sided opening set. The Bahrainis put in some resistance in the second and showed their pride as the home team, but the Iranians had all the answers and were not to be denied.
Parham Fadaei and Mobin Kolasangiani had 12 points apiece for the Iranians, while Jassim Madan had 15 points as Bahrain’s only player in scoring double figures.
