Iran sent a second-string squad to the 2017 Asian meet in Indonesia and returned sadly with a disappointing 5th position. This time and before a large number of their home fans, Iran were on cloud nine to reclaim the title, their third in history.<\/p>\n<p>Iran were happy not only because they reigned supreme over the 16-team championship, but because they proved it they were the best team in this competitive competition, avenging the first-round loss to Australia to stun the unbeaten Volleyroos in the final showdown.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after winning the prestigious Asian title, Iranian players and staff coaches jumped for joy, hugged one another and were all-smiles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48124\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/10-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"6028\" height=\"4019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/10-36.jpg 6028w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/10-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/10-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/10-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/10-36-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 6028px) 100vw, 6028px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Australia picked up silver medal this time.
