Women Futsal team Cannot Attend World Cup.

[rezabmehr]

After doing the impossible and winning the Asian Futsal Championship (with full hejab I may add), our Women Futsal Team has been told by Kaffashian (who else) that they cannot attend the World Cup due to lack of time to obtain visas. Since the games are being played in Guatemala this year and they don't have an embassy in Iran, they would have to travel to a third country and "there is just not enough time" Kaffashian said. What a BS excuse to rob our team from attending the most important tournament of their lives. Mr. Kaffashian: YOU SUCK!!!!!
I cannot imagine the heartbreak for our women's team.

This third country is Germany. And nowadays it takes a few weeks to get visa to Germany. Then you have to request for visa to Guatemala, which will take time aswell. Don't want to defend IFF and I believe Kafashian has acted silly, but this is Iran, a country with one of the most useless passports ever, that we're talking about and this can't be compared to other countries where it's quite easy to get visa. Some of our TM players still haven't got their visa to Guam. Because of the tensions with the US, the TM plane can't land in Guam, since it's US territory.

IFF has had plenty of time to act.

FIFA needs to step in get these players VISAs when this sort of thing happens.
Extremely unfair and only gives IFF an excuse for their messups.

[AIrani]

I am upset too.

However, it could be done. Guatemala is a cooperative country. They must have an interest section such as Venezuela. Or the third country can be Venezuela. Iranians get visas to Venezuela in few days. In there, it will take only few days to get visa to Guatemala.

Idiot IFF, this is national team. I guess IFF is short on money.

[BehnamT]

it has nothing to do with visa issue, time etc.. it is just a way IR saying BILAKH to our female hamvatan. simple as this. do you think if WC was held in that country they would not have time/ energy/ money to obtain visa? how naive are still some hamvatan to agree with IF

[Paradigm]

This is incredible. The IFF should immediately call a Guatemalan ambassador in one of the European countries (Spain or Italy perhaps?) and see if he or she can expedite something.

[rezabmehr]

They can go to Ecuador or Venezuela as someone else suggested which doesn't need visas and get the Guatemala visas from there. These are all excuses, they just don't want to.

Ferdosipour should step in and defend our women. It's a God damn shame that they can't play in the World Cup because of this..

It is good news. Our women should stay home and watch the kids. Football is not for women.

It takes time for you to read Iranian sarcasm. It is in our blood and is a form of humor.
