Majda Cicic says that she is proud of Iranian team in the 11th Asian Girls’ U18 Volleyball Championship.

Iran started the competition with a straight-set loss to Olympics champion China and suffered a shock defeat to Hong Kong on the second day of the competition.

“I would like to say that I was very satisfied in the first set against Hong Kong although my team are very inexperienced,” Cicic said.

“Next match, I’m sure that they will play better, because they saw what they have to do. I’m proud of my team because they’ve tried their best. Every match, we will be better and better,” she added.

The Asian Girls’ U18 Volleyball Championship will continue at the Chongqing No. 8 Secondary School Yubei Campus till March 13.

The best four teams will qualify to the 2017 FIVB Girls’ U18 World Championship, which is due to take place in Argentina from August 18 to 27, 2017.
