I think Oman may have done this to us as well as other countries.
Our federation will need to be more open to this idea, they need to be smart and use any and all advantages benefiting Team Melli, and not make Azadi and Tehran the automatic location for all international competitions. Once Naghshe Jahan stadium is complete (hopefully in this decade), and the new Foolad stadium in Ahvaz, and other newly built stadiums in other provinces, ones with more than 30K capacity, should be used for international competitions, especially WC and AC matches.
