Mashhad XI vs Karbala XI September 16 @ Emam Reza Stadium Mashhad

[Ali Doust]

why are there no lights on the stands. Makes it look amateurish still.

Edit : nvm. their were in hd pics I saw. No hd broadcasting means we cant see the true beauty of stadium.

NO lights on the stands because most of the Stadium was empty. Throwing a useless match on the first day of the week is too much to ask for.

heck no
do these assbackwards clowns in IRIB even have the technology for it YET..?

Games from Tehran and Tabriz seem to be. Even the city of Jam has HD broadcasting.

I sincerely hope that from now on Imam Reza Stadium be used for home matches for Padide FC, secondary home for Siahjamegan and Team Melli.
Mashhad has good flight connection to many nearby countries and also Turkmenistan and Afghanistan are just across the border so Team Melli hosting a friendly match in this venue versus teams such as Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan can easily be done. Maybe even other teams such as Russia, Kazakhstan, China PR, Uzbekistan can arrive on charter flights or if their national teams have private planes
Let's hope AQR would not push for their agenda such as using this venue for exhibition matches for Mashhad team versus teams from Islamic Holy Cities or organise such tournaments where teams would be:
Padide FC, Siahjamegan Khorasan, Saba Qom (all from Iran)
Al-Najaf FC, Karbala FC, Samarra FC, Al-Kadhimiya SC (all from Iraq)
or some clubs based in East Jerusalem (Palestine), Damascus (Syria).
