TEHRAN \u2013 Iran\u2019s postponed FIBA World Cup qualifying clash against Syria has been scheduled for June 29, though the host venue has yet to be finalized.<\/p>\n

According to federation spokesman Mohsen Moezzi<\/strong>, preparations for the national men\u2019s basketball team are already underway as Iran gear up for the upcoming qualification window.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for the Ministry of Sports to officially authorize the resumption of activities, as all federations were suspended at the start of the conflict,\u201d Moezzi said. \u201cOnce approval is granted, we will fully restart our programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moezzi noted that Iran\u2019s 3×3 squad were cleared to compete at the Sanya Beach Games, but decisions on the national league and senior team camps remain pending.<\/p>\n

When asked about coordination with Sotiris Manolopoulos<\/strong>, the Greek head coach of Team Melli, he confirmed ongoing communication. \u201cYes, we are in touch. He is awaiting our finalized schedule so he can join the camp and implement his plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the third window of World Cup qualifiers set to open on July 1<\/strong>, Iran believes there is still sufficient time for training camps and tune\u2011up games. \u201cOnce the Ministry authorizes the start of our camps, we will proceed accordingly,\u201d Moezzi added.<\/p>\n

As for the postponed fixture from the second window, Moezzi said: \u201cWe have one remaining match against Syria. The likely date is June 29, ahead of the third window, but the official venue is still undecided.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
