TEHRAN - Slovakia beat debutants Iran 37-22 in President’s Cup Group I on Tuesday.

A draw against Iran would be enough for Slovakia to stay in this position and continue in the 17th place bracket.

Iran had also lost to India 31-30 in its first match in President’s Cup.

The 23rd edition of the 2022 IHF Women's Junior World Championship is being held in Slovenia from June 22 to July 3 under the aegis of International Handball Federation (IHF).

Iran are ranked third in the group with one point, and they were obviously frustrated by a narrow defeat against fellow Asian team India on Sunday.
