Iran, Tehran, Feb. 25 / Trend , A.Namdari/

Two U.S. national paintball teams will arrive in Iran.

The world paintball championship will be held on Kish Island. Thirteen countries will participate. Two teams from the U.S., two teams from Germany, four teams from the UAE and the Malaysian, Indonesian, French, British and Dutch teams will partake in the contest, the Iranian Kish Island Culture Administration said in a message.

Last year, the U.S. national team won the world championship.

The German national team was the European champion.

Paintball is a team sport using pneumatic guns shooting gelatin balls filled with water-soluble paint.

During the 10-15-minute game, two teams start from their bases on opposite ends of the field and try to capture the flag in the center. The flag must then be raised at the enemy's base.
