The 20th Asian Games men's volleyball tournament took place at Oka Saka Chuo Sogo Park Gymnasium in Japan on September 29 in the final group-stage match. Iran's national team, a three-time former champion ranked 19th in the world, faced Indonesia, ranked 45th globally. The match carried crucial meaning for Thailand's young men's volleyball team: an Indonesian victory would have eliminated Thailand from the tournament. Iran, despite falling two sets behind, mounted a comeback to defeat Indonesia 3–2 with set scores of 22–25, 21–25, 25–21, 25–19, and 17–15. Iran advanced to the knockout stage as Group B champions with three straight victories and 8 points, while Thailand also secured a quarter-final berth as group runners-up with 5 points.
