Azkals’ Bahadoran roots for RP, Iran in FIBA Asia
by rick olivares
Misagh Bahadoran, who is half-Filipino and
half-Iranian is in a quandary when it comes to rooting for a team in the
ongoing FIBA Asia Championships in Manila. “It’s only recently that I became interested
in basketball,” said the Azkal and Global football player.
“I watched the Philippines-Chinese Taipei match the
other night and it was very exciting,” recounted Bahadoran who was at the Mall
of Asia Arena to catch the Bahrain-Iran match. “We didn’t win but it was an
exciting match.”
The forward who was with other Fil-Iranians decided
that if the Philippines plays Iran he and his friends will be happy for the
winning team and sad for the losing squad. “That doesn’t make it easy for us,”
admitted Bahadoran. “But maybe the winner here is basketball because I’ve
become interested in the sport.”
The footballer said he looked forward to watching the
Philippines play Qatar and Hong Kong to finish off their second round schedule.
