Ireland canceled its participation at the last minute. It should be noted that our national team was weakened due to the absence of 9 players but it can not be an excuse for the two high defeats. The only positive thing in this case is that the coach Nedjat Shabani realized that he could not count in the future on а dozen players who played in this tournament because they did not use the chance to impose themselves in the national team.
