The president then congratulated 'this proud victory' to the Iranian nation, 'hard-working tall players of the national team', their managers and coaches.

Other top-ranking Iranian authorities including Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, and the Sports Minister Masoud Soltanifar also expressed their congratulations over the win.
