Austria to host Iran-Spain friendly says IFF

Iran’s national soccer team is to play a friendly match against Spain in the near future, Iranian Football Association’s spokesman Mohammad Sedeq Doroudgar says.

“The friendly match will be held in Austria,” IRIB quoted Doroudgar as saying on Friday.

“The friendly is aimed at boosting sports ties between Iran and Spain,” he went on to say.

Doroudgar is currently visiting the Spanish club Real Madrid at the head of a 20-member sports delegation. The Iranian delegation arrived in the Spanish capital on Thursday to meet with Real Madrid’s officials and visit the club’s sports facilities during the five-day visit.

The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) named Real Madrid as the best club of the 20th century after an exhaustive study.

Real Madrid is the most successful club in European competition history with 11 European trophies, 9 European Cups and 2 UEFA Cups.
