PTV - Iran's beach soccer team has arrived in
Dubai for the third round of the Asia Qualifiers for this year's FIFA Beach
Soccer World Cup.
The tournament kicks off on Tuesday. Six sides split into two groups will
clash over five days at the Al Mamzar Beach.
Iran along with China and Bahrain are in group 'B'. Group 'A' consists of
hosts UAE, India and last year's finalists Japan.
The top two nations from each preliminary-round group will move on to the
semi-finals on August 17. The match for third place and championship game
are scheduled for the next day.
The two finalists and the winner of the third-place playoff qualify for this
year's world cup, which will be played at the world-famous Copacabana Beach
in the Brazilian capital Rio de Janeiro in November 2007.
