History of Iran Basketball Team
Iran was placed in Group A with Lithuania, Russia, Argentina, Croatia, and Australia. These all teams are very strong. But still, they managed to maintain their position.
Iran Basketball team has won the FIBA Asia Championship 2009 at Tianjin, China, defeated China, by a score of 70–52 in the final match.
This is a team that could field five reliable outside shooters all together on the court, attempting to overcome the tremendous disadvantage with respect to size and weight that Italy will probably face in some specific matchups. Getting out of this group shouldn’t be hard for the team, but they’re aiming for more.
