AVC Men's Volleyball Asian C’ships: Japan Beat Iran In Final To Qualify For LA28
Volleyball Asian Championship: Japan booked their place at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games after defeating Iran 3-0 in the final of the AVC Men’s Volleyball Asian Championship on Sunday, successfully defending their continental title on home soil.
The hosts produced a composed performance in Kitakyushu to beat Iran 25-21, 26-24, 25-23 and claim their 12th Asian Championship crown. The victory also secured Japan one of the qualification quotas for the 2028 Olympics, where they will join the United States as the first two teams to earn their places in the men’s volleyball tournament.
Japan’s latest continental triumph came against familiar opponents, with Iran appearing in the Asian Championship final for the third consecutive edition. The two sides had also met in the Nations League in June, when Japan prevailed in a five-set contest.
