Let's all contribute in making a list of best possible list of national teams as potential friendly match opponent for Team Melli in September.
I'll start the list, then everyone post or modify the list. The sooner we have a list, we can email to FFIRI so they can start negotiating and not mess up like June friendlies. Consider those with direct diplomatic relations with Iran as top priority and others with no direct diplomatic relations or weaker teams as secondary.
Top Priority (apart from Brazil and Argentina who ask for high fee. Also no African or European teams listed)
🇺🇾 Uruguay
🇲🇽 Mexico (has a match with Paraguay on 1 Sep)
🇪🇨 Ecuador (has a match with Saudi Arabia on 23 Sep)
🇨🇴 Colombia
🇨🇱 Chile
🇯🇵 Japan
🇦🇺 Australia
🇧🇴 Bolivia
🇻🇪 Venezuela
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇴🇲 Oman
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Second Priority - No Diplomatic relations
🇵🇪 Peru
🇵🇾 Paraguay (has a match with Mexico on 1 Sep)
🇨🇷 Costa Rica
🇵🇦 Panama
ðŸ‡ðŸ‡³ Honduras
🇸🇻 El Salvador
🇬🇹 Guatemala
🇯🇲 Jamaica
🇹🇹 Trinidad and Tobago
ðŸ‡ðŸ‡¹ Haiti
Third Priority - List of countries with diplomatic relations but such friendly match will not really help Team Melli for preparing for World Cup, only benefits reserve/bench/uncapped players. Did not put Iraq, Lebanon, Uzbekistan, Syria, UAE teams that Team Melli played in WCQ or past friendlies.
🇨🇳 China
🇻🇳 Vietnam
🇹🇲 Turkmenistan
🇯🇴 Jordan
🇹🇯 Tajikistan
🇰🇼 Kuwait
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇳🇮 Nicaragua
