      Iran vs Uruguay friendly match seems to be back!

      July 2, 2022

      After several failed attempts to arrange friendly matches in the much-expanded FIFA day in June, Iran’s national football team could not make the best use of the opportunity and could only manage one game against Algeria while setting up a few-week camp in Qatar. Team Melli finally played a game against the Algerian national team. Iran was supposed to play against Canada and also Ecuador, but these matches were canceled due to political pressure in Canada against Team Melli traveling to the North American country.

      Iran’s Team Melli was offered to play against Uruguay in this country, but due to the long-distance, Iran’s head coach Dragan Skocic opposed that arrangement as it would have been a logistical nightmare for the squad. That match did not materialize either. Now, however, with only one more FIFA Day between September 19 and 27 before the World Cup, it seems that the Uruguay match is on again.

      According to “Baysan”, an Uruguayan reporter, Iran will meet Uruguay on September 23 in Austria

      Uruguay will also play another match against the host of the World Cup, Qatar, on September 27 in Austria. It is not known whether the Iranian federation has arranged any other games in Austria besides the Uruguay match, which has yet to be confirmed by FFIRI.
      With players such as Suarez, Darwin Núñez, Cavani Martín Cáceres ,and Lucas Torreira in the Uruguay squad, that match will be a tough test for Team Melli.

        The Football mafia is at it again!
        News
        June 17, 2022
        Team Melli lost to Algeria 2-1 in a friendly match in Doha, and that triggered the Iranian football mafia into action. It was like the ideal result for them to call for the head of the current head coach and calls for the former one to return at the helm of Team Melli.

        Commenting on such scenario, Bijan ZolfagharNasab the former player and coach of the Iranian national football team who is currently an Advisor to the Minister of Youth and Sports, in reference to Dragan Skocic status, said: “He is the best option now and the atmosphere should not be made more polluted than what is now.”

        Team Melli training camp was attended by the Iranian Minister of youth Sports Hamid Sajjadi who held private meetings with senior players such as Omid Ebrahimi, Ehsan HajSafi, Mehdi Taremi, Sardar Azmoun, Alireza Biranvand, and Alireza Jahanbakhsh the night before the match. A meeting in which the players complained about the process of preparing the team for a respectable representation of the country in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

        After the 2-1 loss, a result that would not be so critical to any national team in a friendly match, rumors were circulating about the possibility of a change in the coaching staff and the departure of Dragan Skocic less than five months before the start of the first game against England, with the typical name of Carlos Queiroz mentioned in addition to Javad Nekounam as possible replacements.



        These rumors intended with malice were accompanied by an official reaction from the Ministry of Sports and Youth regarding interference in technical issues and the selection of the head coach of the Iranian national football team. Mohsen Motamedkia, head of public relations at the Ministry of Sports, said: “The absolute position of the Ministry of Sports and Youth has been to support the decisions made by the Football Federation (FFIRI) from the very beginning, and this position still stands.”

        “The Ministry of Sports and Youth has no input in technical matters and only acts as a supporter and a patron behind all sports federations, including the football federation.”

        Referring to some rumors, citing yesterday’s meeting of six national team players with Hamid Sajjadi, he noted:” The Minister knows and is aware of sports etiquette well and is fully acquainted with the position of the technical staff, and this meeting was requested by the supervisor and The technical staff of the national team was held and they listened to the concerns of these players for nearly two hours on behalf of the other players and in the presence of the team leader and member of the board of directors of the federation. “

        In an interview with Mehr, Bijan ZolfagharNasab commented on criticism of Dragan Skocic: “I think we have witnessed one of the sloppiest games of the Iranian national team in the last decade. We ran after the ball without a purpose and had no strategy to win.” The Adviser to the Minister of Sports then commented on whether it is necessary to change the coaching staff of Team Melli before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar: “I do not consider it appropriate to change the current situation. I think we have little chance until the World Cup games. Any change can be to our detriment. Dragan Skocic has done very well and should not be judged by a technical error in a friendly preparation match. “

        Zulfiqar Nasab clarified the rumors of the return of Carlos Queiroz: “Mr. Queiroz worked hard for national football, but if he was going to do something worthwhile, he would have done it in the eight years. he was at the helm. I do not know what changes are going to happen to Team Melli with his presence, which is not possible now. Taking command of the national team at this stage does not cure any pain. We came to a conclusion with him anyway,”

        About Skocic, ZolfagharNasab “He kept his faith in these same players. Skocic is the best option at the moment”

        As for lack of forward planning and poor management in the Football Federation particularly in arranging friendly international matches for Team Melli: “Unfortunately, there is no sign of planning. The national team needs preparation for games with teams like England and Wales that have a high physical form. “The former coach of the Iranian national team noted: “We have a very difficult job with the current conditions to qualify out of the group. We can not stand to be counted against the best in the world by relying on the individual ability of the players. This team’s success is a long and complicated process. It needs a chain from the management of the federation all the way to the team players.

            Today there was an scheduled brainstorming meeting between official of league org and clubs to sort out league 22 schedule and cooperation with TM .
            Only 3 coach showed up Rabiei, Parkas,and Tatar . Few clubs just represented by assistants and few totally ignored ( Persepolis, Sepahan)this meeting.

            in agenda:

            *-Start of the league,
            *-How many weeks before WC breaks.

            TM coach Skocic has officially requested :

            *- longer league break before Qatar WC

            *- TM training camp to start a week earlier than FIFA day on September 11-27 ( FIFA day 19-27)


            11-18 is not in FIFA day 2022 and it is for available domestic players in addition to UAE and Qatar players

              I'd add that because of African Cup of Nations, it looks like African teams will be unavailable for friendlies during the September window, as well. Some African World Cup teams have complained about this and have asked to reschedule these Afcon games, but so far, all indications are that they will go ahead.

              A few European teams are only playing 1 Nations League match in September and therefore are available for 1 friendly match during that window: Iceland, Israel, Malta, and San Marino.
              Also, Morocco is available for September friendlies after their matches against Zimbabwe were cancelled when Zimbabwe was suspended.

                  Man you did not just diss the Nations League. It's one of the coolest ideas any footy organizations came up with in ages. If AFC had the least bit of competence they'd set up this tourney too

                    Zolfaghar-nasab has a big mouth!

                    This guy talks about everyone and everything in football but has nothing in his own bag to show he actually knows what he is talking about.

                    He is defending Skocic because CQ told him off and he is still very pissed off at that. Even if TM loses to Maldives under Skocic he still insists Skocic must stay. This idiot is ignoring what CQ achieved with Iran. Someone got to ask this guy what have you done for TM?

                      Some european teams are available bro. Like Iceland (23/09/22) , Malta , San Marino and russia ( A Big NO).

                      Iceland would be great friendly since they are doing well in UNL.

                            Absolutely no excuse to not have a friendly using the domestic TM players. I get it that our key players won't make it, but still our domestic players need every second of game time.

                            And it being outside of a FIFA date means nothing to me. plenty teams organise friendlies outside FIFA days.

                              .

                              Idea of a friendly with available players is sound and reasonable but it has to be called by SKO.
                              IFF will not act on this without a request by coach.

                                8 day extension for camp is great news, CQ will need as much time as we can afford him now.

                                Alternatively, if for whatever reason CQ is not yet installed, it gives Sarlak more opportunity to cement his starting place to ensure we get the Ls we need to get Sgoh sacked.
