Initially, this year’s tournament was supposed to be held as in previous years, but the outbreak of the third wave of the Corona virus in Iran and the world changed the way it was held.
To determine the new method, an online meeting of the CEOs and head coaches of the Women’s Premier League clubs with the officials of the federation was held on Monday, October 19th. In this webinar, the following method was selected from the three methods proposed by the federation based on collective wisdom:
The Women’s Premier League of 1999 will be held in two preliminary groups and concentrated in two weeks.
Therefore, the teams of Saipa, Qazvin Municipality, Exxon and Sarvaghamtan Babol in Group A and the teams of Zobahan Isfahan, Peykan Tehran, Stargan Fars and Khojasteh Islamshahr in Group B also competed in the preliminary round.
At the suggestion of the Referees Committee and in order to make better use of the capacity of referees and observers, the qualifying round match of groups A and B of the Women’s Premier League was held every other week. Also, to maintain proper health protocols and recovery of players, each group had a two-week break after one week of competition.
Finally, the 9th of Bahman, the Women’s Volleyball Premier League, ended in 1999 with the victory of Saipa, and the teams of Zobahan Esfahan and Peykan Tehran won the second and third places. Also, the teams of Qazvin Municipality, Sarvaghamtan Babol, Exxon, Khojasteh Islamshahr and Fars Stars were ranked fourth to eighth.
