UAE.

I am sure it will be. Last time a media company that bought the rights was streaming and you could order online. That's how I watched it.

if CQ stay i am sure we can go to the final, no asian team has beaten us since 2013 in 90 min football, if CQ dont stay is a different issue

[naderb94]

I am only worried about the referees. That is the only way we will lose.

Only team that can realistically beat us is Japan

[mahestan]

Since it will be hosted at UAE, how much abuse of the name Persian Gulf are we going to see?

i dont think they wanna do that, first iran is close to UAE, so alot of iranian will go and alot of iranian are there already

[Nokhodi]

Since it will be hosted at UAE, how much abuse of the name Persian Gulf are we going to see?

Frequently. They're shameless.

[mahestan]

Frequently. They're shameless.

Very sad, so very sad and yet our countrymen & countrywomen love UAE.

[Ali Doust]

What are the chances that Arab sheikhs allow Iran to lift this trophy on their turf? Sadly the odds are stacked agaisnt us.

[nisfejahan]

I am mostly afraid of the referees and the AFC organizers. The referees have blatantly robbed Iran of two recent chances to go all the way: 2004 and 2014. In 2004 a very obvious over the top red-card was not given to the Chinese defender in the semis. And in 2014, well you know what happenned.

By the way, although Iran lost that 2014 game to the referee, I have never been prouder of how Iran played in that game, a man down for most of the game, and then coming back twice to tie the game. I knew then that CQs team has character and grit.

and I really damn hope this time we will meet both the Saudis and the Aussies and teach them both a lesson or two!

The AC victory would become so much sweeter.

[Omid177]

Teams that I really want us to meet at this AC: Iraq, Saudi, Syria and Australia.
Teams I don't want to meet : Korea and Qatar. Tired of them, especially Qatar.

If the refs don't screw it up I don't see us losing to anyone except Japan maybe.
