TEHRAN - Congo proved to be a too tough of a challenge for Iran and claimed a strong 32-20 win, the second one in a row in the President's Cup Group II on Saturday.

The African team handed Iran their fifth loss in a row at Denmark/Norway/Sweden 2023.

The last round matches will bring the top-of-the-group clash between Chile and Congo, fighting for progressing to the Placement Match 25/26 place game, the final of the President's Cup, while Iran will try to avoid the Placement Match 31/32 in a duel with Kazakhstan.

Iran have previously lost to Poland, Germany, Japan at the 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship and Chile at the President’s Cup.
