Top teams don't go through qualifiers.
I can be wrong though.

I think teams that make it to final round of World Cup Qualifiers qualify for the Asian Cup and the rest have to qualify no? Something like that

The teams are already set in stone for the AC, 24 of them. Russia can't participate

Guys, ignoring any CQ drama, who are the top youngsters we need to be rotated into TM for the Asian Cup? There are so many Iranians in lesser European leagues. The one who I fear for is Zahedi. I see/hear a lot of hype on the "kid", but at 27, if he wants to prove himself worthy of TM, he needs to go somewhere other than Persepolis, which is (at best) a lateral move. Puskas is like a limbo; he can score all he wants (and he's not doing that at a great clip), but the competition is not testing his limits, for sure.

That's just beautiful. Every country in the Region (apart from Afghanistan) will be ahead of us as long as IR is in power.

Expert Ghasempour hits out at FFIRI over delay in coach’s appointment

January 10, 2023 - 19:21
TEHRAN - Ebrahim Gahsempour, a member of the Iran Football Federation’s technical committee, criticized the federation over delay in appointment of senior and U23 Iran national teams head coaches.

Team Melli are without a head coach after the 2022 World Cup. Carlos Queiroz’s contract with the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI) is over, and his replacement is yet to be appointed.

The same, even worse, situation is for the U23 national team known as Omid Team.

Less than nine months into the 2024 AFC U23 Asian Cup qualification, which will act as the AFC qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Olympics men's football games, the U23 Iran national team are yet to know their head coach.

“It’s not a new thing in Iranian football,” Ebrahim Ghasempour said in his exclusive interview with Tehran Times.

“The football federation officials have always performed poorly, especially in the junior teams such as the U23 team, and it has always been a big problem in Iranian football, and it still continues to be.

“I have no idea why the federation is losing time and don’t decide in this regard. It’s not a complicated process. They need to select some candidates, check their records and conditions and finally choose the best one. It should be decided in a technical committee or by consulting with some football experts,” Ghasempour added.

Mehdi Mahdavikia resigned from his post as head coach of the U23 team in early October. Under the guidance of Mahdavikia, Iran showed a poor performance in the 2022 AFC U23 Asian Cup and failed to qualify for the next stage.

“Mahdavikia was a great coach for the U23 team. Yes, he couldn’t get good results in U23 Asian Cup, but his side had some problems then. He explained the problems in a football federation’s technical committee meeting. In my opinion, his reasons were quite convincing, and he was right. But unfortunately, the FFIRI parted ways with him,” said the former player of the Iran national team.

When asked if he is still a member of the technical committee of the Football Federation or not, Ghasempour said: “No, but the federation has not officially stopped cooperating with us. Still, practically there has been no contact with us for a long time, and this, in my opinion, means the end of the cooperation,” he concluded

Niazmand (Portimonense) usa prémio do Mundial-2022 para pagar fiança a presos no Irão
Bruno Henriques



Niazmand/Instagram O guarda-redes dos algarvios está a ser aplaudido pelo gesto humanitário. Atualmente está no Irão, ao serviço do Sepahan.
Um dos quatro guarda-redes convocados por Carlos Queiroz para o Mundial-2022, Payam Niazmand não somou qualquer minuto pelo Irão no Campeonato do Mundo do Catar, mas ainda assim recebeu um bónus de nove mil euros pela convocatória.
Dinheiro que, de acordo com o Persian Soccer, utilizou para pagar a fiança a 20 prisioneiros (18 homens e duas mulheres). A mesma fonte avança que se tratam de pessoas detidas há três anos e que não tinham capacidade para liquidar as dívidas, pelo que não estão ligados aos protestos que têm assolado Teerão e o restante país desde setembro, quando Mahsa Amini foi morta às mãos da polícia da moralidade.

Payam Niazmand, the Sepahan & TeamMelli goalkeeper, paid close to $10,000 USD to secure the release of 20 prisoners. The freed prisoners included 2 women & 18 men who had been jailed. Payam and Iranian players are using their #Qatar2022 bonuses to free prisoners in Iran.

Internacional por uma ocasião pelo Irão, Payama Niazmand regressou esta época ao país para jogar no Sepahan, orientado pelo português José Morais, por empréstimo do Portimonense. Contratado em 2021, somou um total de cinco jogos pelos algarvios.
