HANGZHOU – Heidi Peters had a game-high 24 points Wednesday as Canada defeated Iran 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Sitting Volleyball Championships to advance to the semifinals.
Julia Chisholm added 10 points in a match Canada won with set scores of 25-19, 25-22 and 25-22.
No. 2 Canada remained unbeaten after five matches and was set to face the top-ranked United States in the semifinals on Thursday.
The Canadians can assure themselves of a berth at the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics with a win against the U.S., or in the third-place match on Friday if they fall in the semifinals.
The U.S. secured a spot at the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games by reaching the quarterfinals earlier in the tournament.
In men’s play, Canada lost to Croatia 0-3 in a placement-round match.
Canada will next face China on Thursday.
