Player of the Match: Fereshteh Karimi
IR Iran’s destiny is in their own hands following victory over Panama at the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup Philippines 2025™.
Anafjeh tapped home the opener, Nasimeh Gholami arrowed the second into the bottom corner, and Fereshteh Karimi’s rocket made it 3-0. Kenia Rangel then got Panama’s first goal in the competition, but Karimi, Fereshteh Khosravi and Fatemeh Rahmati powered Shahrzad Mozafar’s side to the points.
Iran will return to action against Italy on Saturday, while Panama will play the mighty Brazil.
