[saadat_abad]

guys, what time is the game tmrw? is it the same time as the bahrain game? Pacific time if someone could hook it up

Today Iran will play Saudi

06:30

Saudi Arabia U23

Iran U23

[Team Melli Fan]

I think it's good that we accepted the invite to the WAFF U23 championship. The CAFA teams aren't as good to prepare us for the U23 Asian Cup. We should only send our youth teams to the WAFF championships for tournament preparations.

This is last time Iran play at WAFF.
To give Kafashian a position in AFC ( Plus women issue) , Iran was moved to CAFA( Reorganization) . Iran instead of playing strong teams like Iraq, UAE, Qatar, Saudi ,Syria , now will play, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan. Kyrgyzstan.

I think moving to CAFA is a good decision overall. But in the future we should accept to play in the WAFF youth tournaments, especially before the U23 Asian Cup.

Accept?
We can't play there . It's for members only . Iran was one of founders of WAFF. With Help of Kafashian they kicked Iran out.

For the Copa America, teams like Japan and Mexico have been invited. I figured it was the same.

We need to start a CAFA championship for ourselves.

Iran won't improve from playing waff teams at any age group. They won't improve from playing central Asian teams either but at least we get representation and play countries that are more culturally and linguistically similar to us

What time is the Game today.

[Zamboor]

what time is Iran vs Saudi?

and for all those who keep on saying we should join CAFC and Leave WAFF. Its stupid. If we did leave waff its even more stupid. Waff countries got developed football arenas and almost all national teams got players in europe. Now lets play against Tajiksistan and Afghanistan instead. Facepalm

Which women issues?

Which women issues?

[QUOTE]As a result, Mr. Soosay's remarks fit the mould of AFC governance. Sheikh Salman recently used a proposal to recognize Central Asia as a separate soccer region in Asia to eliminate the post of a woman AFC vice president. That post is currently held by Australian Moya Dodd, a prominent reformer whose views challenge those held by Messrs. Salman and Soosay.[/QUOTE]
