TEHRAN – Foolad Sirjan learned their fate at the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Men’s Club World Championships.

The Iranian team have been drawn with Italian club Itas Trentino and Sada Cruzeiro of Brazil in Pool B.

The Polish club Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle, originally qualified for the event as 2020-2021 CEV Champions League winners, were unable to confirm their participation due to the challenges posed by COVID-19.
