Iran v Korea, 2016 FIBA Asia Challenge (IRI), Tehran(Islamic Republic of Iran), Final, 18 September 2016
TEHRAN (FIBA Asia Challenge 2016) - The FIBA Asia Challenge 2016 closed today with Iran winning the title at Korea’s expense, 77-47. Joining the finalists on the podium were Jordan, who defeated fellow West Asian side Iraq, 94-72, for the third place.
Rounding off the top five teams of the tournament were the Chinese, who turned back Japan in their classification game 75-67.
In the day's other classification game, India punched successfully above their weight and defeated Chinese Taipei, 80-68, to take seventh place.
Iran, Jordan and Iraq now have earned for the West Asia sub-zone three extra berths in the FIBA Asia Cup 2017. Similarly, Korea and China earned for the East Asia sub-zone two extra berths. This brings the total number of West Asia berths to five given their initial allocation of two slots. East Asia, which was initially allotted two berths, now has a total of four.
