Football: A total disgrace for Islamic Republic of Iran

[Kaveh]

رئيس فدراسيون خيلي باحال شده، مي گويد چند هفته است به سازمان نرفته و اين يعني كه سازمان دخالت نمي كند، ببخشيد نمي دانستيم كه در قرن نوزدهم هستيم. به هرحال اين حرف ها از آقايان گذشته، ما معذرت مي خواهيم كه مسخره شما شده ايم.

So we cancelled a couple of friendlies due to rain and cold! Is Iran the first country facing
winter cold and rain? Why don't we have a single stadium with retractable roof, or in the
south why dont we have proper drainage in Kish stadium?
Do we realize if this was a real game instead of friendly, the venue could have easily
been changed to another country per FIFA rules?
How come UAE or Qatar, can be a winter destination for European teams, when they
dont even have enough land and have to dig up soil from the bottem of Persian Gulf to
create artificial Islands, but our beautiful southern port cities and Islands, often no more
than a few hundred miles from UAE/Qatar don't have the most basic facilities to accomodate locals let alone visitors?
IRI, by monopolizing the entire sports of football in the hand of government, by taking
all the broadcast rights, and by having all the teams be really government run, must
take full responsibility for this huge shortcoming and embarassemtn. Furthermore,
when events like IFF "election" come, instead of correcting some of these issues, IRI
tries to stone wall the process.
IRI tends to take managers who have not openly or publically explained What they will do, to address so many shortcomings that our football faces?
Is Mr.Kafashian even aware of these challenges? What are his plans? Just because
behind closed doors and in secret they eliminated all the candidates until there was none
left standing but Kafashian, does that mean he is up to the tasks and chellenges?
Comes 4 years from now, how do we measure/evaluate Mr.Kafashians tenure?
How many of the stadiums will be completed? How many with proper standards? What are the goals for developing football in Iran?
We have oil at $100 a barrel, we have football talent, we have football lovers we have
a great country, but we also have incompetent hight ranking officials in charge who think
of nothing but their own pathetic interests.
As a result, everything seems like an afterthought, every situation is treated like an
emergency, we hear a different story for every news items from different individuals,
and our resources and talent simply goes to waste. What a shame.

It's good that things are going back and forth. It means people and things are being evaluated very closely, hopefully to a better eventual outcome.
