Team Melli had played Japan in 1999 and Team Omid had played Japan in 2004 at Kirin Challenge.
Apart from Iran, many other national football teams from Muslim countries had participated in Kirin Cup, Kirin Challenge Cup or both. Teams such as UAE, Malaysia, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Syria, Bosnia Herzegovina.
It was the most insane decision to not participate this year due to sponsor which has costs Team Melli the chance to play against quality teams such as Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Ghana, Tunisia, Japan! Those who made such a decision are the biggest traitors to Iran and want to see Team Melli lose all three matches at the 2022 World Cup.
I strongly encourage fans to make a noise so the media publishes about it and make sure those traitors to know never ever make such stupid decisions.
