February
2015, Tehran hosted the first Boccia Club Tournament. These
competitions held on two categories; men and women teams from different
parts of the country. Amazingly, this event welcomed by huge Iranian
fans; especially women and athletes with disabilities' families. At the
men group; 12 teams in the form of 4 classes competed and ultimately
Zanjan Sports Board for the Disabled stepped on first position and
Kahrizak Charity Foundation First Team and Second Team, respectively
followed Zanjan.
But at the Women group the result had another face; 9 teams in two groups comprising 70 athletes in BC1-BC4.
At
the top, Samen Al Hojaj was ahead with 9 points; Zanjan Board got the
second position with 6 points; Kahrizak Charity Foundation # Tehran
stepped at the third rank.
Some teams like Eastern Azerbaijan
for the first time decided to take part in the events. It is expected
that in next coming years we can witness the growth of the Boccia
national club teams attending national championships.
