Iran’s beach soccer national team has intensified its preparations for the upcoming AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup as it aims to defend its continental title and qualify for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Head coach Ali Naderi said the squad remains fully focused on achieving both objectives before the tournament begins in late November.
The coaching staff designed a structured training program following the team’s successful campaign at the Asian Beach Games. After a short recovery period, the players returned to the national team camp and resumed regular training sessions. Naderi said the squad has shown strong commitment while maintaining excellent physical fitness and technical quality throughout its preparations.
The head coach expressed satisfaction with the players’ current condition and praised their determination during training camps. He noted that consistent preparation has strengthened teamwork and improved the squad’s tactical understanding. Meanwhile, the coaching staff continues evaluating player performances before selecting the final roster for the continental competition.
The upcoming Iranian Beach Soccer Premier League will provide valuable match experience for the national team players. Regular domestic competition will help the players maintain their competitive rhythm before returning to international duty. League matches will also improve fitness levels while allowing coaches to monitor individual performances closely.
As part of the team’s preparations, Iran will also participate in an international tournament in Russia before the Asian Championship begins. Several strong national teams are expected to compete, creating an excellent opportunity for meaningful preparation. The tournament will allow Iranian players to gain experience against quality opponents and refine their tactical strategies before the continental event.
Iran has established itself as one of Asia’s strongest beach soccer nations through consistent international success. The national team has regularly competed for major regional titles while qualifying for several FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups. These achievements have strengthened Iran’s reputation as a leading force in Asian beach soccer.
The Iranian Football Federation, the Beach Soccer Committee, and other officials continue supporting the national team’s preparations. Their investment has created favorable conditions for training camps, international competition, and player development. Strong organizational backing has also helped the coaching staff prepare the squad for major tournaments.
Looking ahead, Iran hopes disciplined preparation and strong teamwork will produce another successful international campaign. A successful title defense would secure another place at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup while reinforcing Iran’s position among Asia’s elite beach soccer teams.
