Iranian outside-hitter Poursaleh joins Sepahan
Iranian international Elaheh Poursaleh has joined Sepahan for the upcoming Iranian Women’s Volleyball Premier League.
A former player for Odbojkarski Klub Formis in the Slovenian top division, the 22-year-old outside hitter recently claimed a bronze medal at the Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh with the national team.
Iran suffered straight-set losses against Azerbaijan and Türkiye but came out victorious against Afghanistan and Tajikistan to finish third in the five-team round-robin format, before defeating Tajikistan 3-0 in the third-place match.
Poursaleh was also part of the squad when Iran won a historic title at the CAVA Women’s Volleyball Championship in Uzbekistan in October — the first international gold for Iranian women’s volleyball.
Sepahan will begin the new Iranian top-flight season with a home game against Malavan Tehran in Group B next Saturday.
