Iran Football Federations Submits a Letter to AFC

[diz]

Well written by IRIFF, only thing that's bugging me is they haven't set a deadline for a response from the AFC. Setting a deadline for the AFC to respond would have put the AFC under more pressure and would have shown greater intent from Iran that they will pursue it with other steps if AFC don't take it seriously

True. Though IRIFF reserves the right to take further action and appeals at any given time (including simultaneously with this letter).

Where does it talk about Appeal?

Where does it talk about Appeal?

It doesn’t. It’s inherent and understood in any functioning legal system. Unless AFCs legal process is a kangaroo court ( which it may very well be), Iran can appeal this to a higher body (FIFA, CAS, etc) at any time.

FYI

According to article 57 of the FIFA Statutes, FIFA recognises the independent Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) with headquarters in Lausanne (Switzerland) to resolve disputes between FIFA, member associations, confederations, leagues, clubs, players, officials, intermediaries and licensed match agents.

send them an email and will see how much push back we can get.

If you're going to email it FIFA, it's worth also adding the temperature factor into it as that decision for the Qatar world cup was made by FIFA.

Excellent point.

FIFA needs to be informed that they are not allowed to side with AFC regarding Bahrain as hosts
because it contradicts FIFA’s own decision of a winter world cup.

Bahrain is 101 km from Qatar.

Agreed.

Yes they did....so I doubt temperature cant be argued, plus that's not one of the items brought to the list.

Done.

[teammelli91]

A very well written letter. Very concise and to the point with clear evidence to support it.

FIFA needs to get involved. This is NOT about the islamic republic. The excuses proposed by the Asian Football Confederation are more political than their reasoning. This is an issue that affects football fans in Asia (in this case, fans of Iran's national football team both inside and outside of Iran). It has little to do with safety. It can't get more blatant and obvious than this.

Gianni Infantino will need to be notified and FIFA has to take action.
