Iran national team volleyball head coach Raul Lozano stated that he has a lot of reason to select the final 12 players for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

“I have 18 reasons behind selecting these 12 players as the final squad for 2016 Olympics in Rio. I would like to thank Farhad Zarif, Alireza Mobasheri, Armin Tashakori and Mohammad Javad Manavinejad who were fantastic at the trainings but unfortunately we have to take just 12 players for Rio. We will definitely use them again after Olympics. I believe that the Iranian team will have something to say at the Olympics with Amir Ghafour and Farhad Ghaemi,” Lozano told reporters.
Iran has been pitted against London 2012 gold medalist Russia, World Championship 2014 winner Poland, Argentina, Cuba and Egypt in Pool B of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The Rio 2016 Olympic Games men’s volleyball tournament runs from August 6 until August 20. 
Iran national volleyball team final squad for 2016 Olympic Games in Rio is as follows:
 Saeid Marouf, Mehdi Mahdavi (setter), Amir Ghafour, Shahram Mahmoudi (opposite), Mohammad Mousavi, Adel Gholami, Mostafa Sharifat (middle blockers), Milad Ebadipour, Farhad Ghaemi, Hamzeh Zarrini, Mojtaba Mirzajanpour (wing spikers), Mehdi Marandi (libero)
