Iran’s men’s sitting volleyball team will target a fifth consecutive gold medal at the upcoming Asian Para Games. Captain Sadegh Bigdeli expressed strong confidence in maintaining their undefeated continental championship record. The national squad has claimed top honors across all four previous editions of this major sporting event.

Despite recent roster changes, the team maintains optimal physical conditioning following comprehensive preparation sessions. Players successfully completed rigorous physical assessments without suffering any major injuries during recent training blocks. Technical directors used these intensive sessions to finalize the roster strategy for the competitive tournament.

The team will gather in Tehran for one final tactical camp starting October 5. National coaches plan to refine defensive structures and strategic plays during this critical preparation phase. This final session represents the last chance for technical analysis before the delegation departs for Japan.

Captain Bigdeli identified Kazakhstan as Iran’s primary challenger following their recent bronze victory at the World Championships. Moreover, he noted remarkable athletic growth within the Iraqi squad after joint training sessions held in Iran. Nevertheless, the experienced Iranian lineup focuses entirely on securing another victory against top international competitors.

A fifth straight gold medal would cement Iran’s dominant standing within international Paralympic sports programs. Furthermore, the athletes remain eager to bring joy to their supporters through exceptional court performances. The national federation fully expects another victorious campaign from this world-class athletic delegation.
