In the AFC Champions League 2015 quarter-final draw ceremony held in the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, last year’s runner-up Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia was also drawn against Lekhwiya of Qatar.
“I think we got the best possible draw. Naft must live up to its reputation as the only Iranian team in the competition,” Naft Tehran General Manager Mansour Ghanbarzadeh told Tasnim news agency.
“Naft could have been drawn against West Asian heavyweights Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia and Qatar’s Lekhwiya. We have to prepare ourselves as soon as possible since the quarter-final round will begin in late August,” he added.
