This coming Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup Dubai 2021 will probably be the last competition Peyman Hosseini, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and a living legend of Iranian beach soccer, plays for his country.
And there is only one way Peyman wants to bid farewell to his international career — helping Team Melli claim a fourth crown to make them the most decorated team in Intercontinental Cup history.
The goalkeeper is convinced that his team has everything it takes to win the Intercontinental Cup, a competition he considers “the best in the world. Iran want to — and can — win the Intercontinental Cup,” he said.
“We are really motivated and focused to make that happen, and we know we have our people, our country, behind us.”
He is right, as the support of the Iranian fans has always been one of the keys for the team’s success, and also one of the most iconic images at the Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup stadium in Dubai year after year. “
Our people love beach soccer, and we feel their support is right behind us. We know that many of them are already in Dubai, looking forward to the event beginning.”
After not being given the chance to take part in the Fifa Beach Soccer World Cup Russia due the cancellation of the AFC Beach Soccer Championships, Dubai and the Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup appear as the perfect stage to show the world that Iran is still one of the strongest teams on the planet.
