2023 AFC U-17 Asian Cup

[St_Mark]

AFC U-17 Asian Cup ( 2023)

2021 U16 qualification/championship game in Bahrain was cancelled because of Corona. U16 AFC since 2021 was rebranded as AFC U17 games
( same with U19 rebranded as U20).

Next U17 games will be in Bahrain next year but Qualification will be on 1-9 October 2022.

For past two years with excuse of no money and no official games IFF did not select U17 & U20 coach hence no team & no games.

Majedi appointed TM technical committee last week with mandate to select U17-20 coaches.

Base on unconfirmed report Abdi is candidate as U17 coach with assist of Mahdavi & candidates for U29 are, Mazloomi, Mahabadi, Rezaei, Namjomotlagh, Marfavi, Peyrovani... usual useless no clues coaches.

IFF announced first talent camp for U16 team on April 17 & 18.

Once again, Its Kia, Foulad, Zobahan.... and No Persepolis, Esteghlal (1), Paykan, Tractor , Sna, Nasaji....

Kasra Taheri is one of those to watch in this age group. Product of Sepahan youth academy and a great striker.

Assuming he is no good … St Mark?

[Nokhodi]

Assuming he is no good … St Mark?

Not St. Mark, but he has a UEFA A coaching designation and is a former football player, so he's not completely out of his element.

Barren Tree



آن قصه شنیدید که در باغ، یکی روز
از جور تبر، زار بنالید سپیدار
کز من نه دگر بیخ و بنی ماند و نه شاخی
از تیشهٔ هیزم شکن و ارهٔ نجار
این با که توان گفت که در عین بلندی
دست قدرم کرد بناگاه نگونسار
گفتش تبر آهسته که جرم تو همین بس
کاین موسم حاصل بود و نیست ترا بار
تا شام نیفتاد صدای تبر از گوش
شد توده در آن باغ، سحر هیمهٔ بسیار
دهقان چو تنور خود ازین هیمه برافروخت
بگریست سپیدار و چنین گفت دگر بار
آوخ که شدم هیزم و آتشگر گیتی
اندام مرا سوخت چنین ز آتش ادبار
