Iran Press/ Asia:Iran finished top of Group B following their 1-1 stalemate against Myanmar in their Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Paris 2024 Asian Qualifiers Round 1 match on Saturday.
Iran and Myanmar shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw.
Myanmar were aiming to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against Iran, but it was the Central Asian side who took the lead through Zandi in the 14th minute, the-afc.com reported.
Myanmar pushed forward and were rewarded in the 57th minute through Win Theingi Tun’s equalizer but Iran held on to take home a share of the spoils and a place in the next round.
The seven group winners from Round 1 will continue their quest in Round 2, which is expected to commence in October.
In the next round, they will be joined by the five highest-seeded teams - DPR Korea, Japan, Australia, China PR, and Korea Republic – and divided into three groups.
Four teams - the three group winners and the best-ranked runners-up - will then progress to Round 3 to play two pairs of home and away matches, slated for February 2024, with the eventual winners qualifying for the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Paris 2024.
