The four-a-side beach soccer tournament will be held in Bushehr in southern Iran.

Head of the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI) president Mehdi Taj said that the tournament will be held in the Iranian city in February.

“Iran is among the top five teams in the world. We are going to move up in the beach soccer rankings. The competition will be held with the participation of Iran, Italy, Poland and Spain,” Taj said.

The competition will be held from February 14, FFIRI president said.

“We will hold the tournament every year if we are successful in the first edition,” Taj added.
