MHSN 3,047 Posted August 14, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2021 hard to believe Iran is going to host this event in 10 days and I don't hear anything about it! I knew about hosting this but I didn't know this will start in August. really surprised to see the dates I wonder if the event is being cancelled or something? as much as I love to see Iran hosting international events this is not the right time, with +500 deaths per day (and that's just the official number, they always say the real number is twice this) Iran is in the worst possible situation since the start of the pandemic. I live 40km far from Tehran and I don't dare travel there even when I have to. it will be very surprising if 19 countries send their kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,047 Posted August 14, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2021 contacting few people. it seems Iran is really going to host this! the event will be held in Tehran (just one city) , they will use 2 stadiums (both in the same complex) outside of Tehran. here are the groups, apparently we had some changes because of withdrawals. I still wonder if all 19 teams show up. Group A: Group B: Group C: Group D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoversaBR 281 Posted August 19, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I'm surprised at the height of the players. They are very tall, the libero, for example, is 193cm and he is one of the shortest on the team. And our women's under19 team is also quite tall, I don't know if this is a new trend for Brazil in the future, but it's good considering that the height of the last teams only decreased. But of course, the important thing is the skills, so let's see how these teams will perform. LuizGuilherme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
