Iran, Qatar football Presidents meet in Moscow

Tehran Times – MOSCOW, President of the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI) Mehdi Taj and Qatar Football Association (QFA) President Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed al Thani met in Moscow on the sidelines of the 2018 World Cup final on Sunday.

The Presidents discussed areas of mutual interest while stressing on the importance of building the relationship between the two associations and developing it for future gains.

QFA and FFIRI have already signed a cooperation agreement in Doha in December 2017.

Qatar’s Persian Gulf neighbour Iran has already shown interest in helping the country to host the prestigious competition.

Qatar 2022 organizers are preparing to host a 32-team World Cup and Iranian islands of Kish and Qeshm have hotels aplenty that could accommodate the fans.

Iran looks forward to closer cooperation with the QFA in various areas in football, which is aimed at strengthening the Qatari-Iranian relations.
