FIBA Women’s Asia Cup 2025: Iran Favorite to Top Group
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran enters as one of the stronger teams in FIBA Women’s Asia Cup 2025 Division B, with a history of competitive performances and a desire to bounce back from a painful Division B Final loss two years ago.
Its disciplined approach, combined with size and tactical awareness, positions the team as favorite to top Group B.
Team Melli Banovan is scheduled to face Cook Islands on Sunday.
Cook Islands round out the group as another one of Oceania’s exciting representatives. While it faces a tough challenge against more established Asian teams, its participation highlights the region’s rise in relevance. The Cook Islands might spring a surprise or two here.
Group A features a classic clash between relegated giants Chinese Taipei and Kazakhstan, with India’s rising talent and Tahiti’s development story adding intrigue. Meanwhile, Group B is a tightly contested mix of Iran’s ambition, Thailand’s consistency, Mongolia’s dynamism, and Cook Islands’ growth.
Promotion to Division A is on the line, making every game a must-watch in Division B.
