Foolad, Shahdab to square off in Iranian Volleyball Cup final
The Iranian Volleyball Cup trophy will be on the line when Foolad Sirjan and Shahdab Yazd go head-to-head in a third major final in less than a year today in Tehran.
Behrouz Ataei’s Foolad came out on top in straight sets (25-15, 28-26, 25-22) against Mes Rafsanjan in Sunday’s last-four clash in the Iranian capital.
Mehdi Mahdavi, meanwhile, will have a shot at a maiden trophy since taking charge at Shahdab, after his team also defeated Tabi’at 3-0 (25-21, 26-24, 25-14) earlier in the day.
Foolad and Shahdab squared off in the Iranian Super League final back last April and then met in the AVC Asian Club Championship showdown in September, with Ataei’s men coming out victorious on both occasions.
