Iran handball players suffers loss against Qatar in 2018 Asian Games
The Iran men’s national handball team has failed to overcome the Qatari squad in a match at the preliminary round of the 2018 Asian Games, and yet managed to advance to the next level of the continental event.
On Friday, the Iranian side, which had trounced Malaysia 55-11 two days earlier, lost to the Qatari side 20-35 in a Group A match played at the POPKI Sport Hall in the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta.
Even though the Iranian handball squad was beaten in the fixture, it could book itself a place in the main round of the tournament.
The men's handball tournament at the 2018 Asian Games began on August 13 and will end on August 31, 2018.
The Iran men’s national handball team is now pitted against Bahrain, Hong Kong and South Korea in Group II of the main round.
Iraq, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are drawn in Group I.
Group III consists of Chinese Taipei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan.
