Announce the possible end time of the Premier League and change the match schedule after the Champions League draw

According to Fars News Agency, Soheil Mehdi said about the draw of the group stage of the 2022 season of the Asian Champions League: “It may be one of the few years that football fans in Iran did not follow the draw with full excitement.” We are happy about the presence of two representatives of our country in the Asian Champions League, and I hope this lot will be for the staff and Sepahan and Foolad fans, but it is a pity that our other two quotas were left and were not used. This year, we are following the Champions League with a second of excitement.

Regarding the special planning for Sepahan and Foolad’s games in the Premier League, he explained: “Maybe in the past months, the league organization was criticized for the tightness of the games, but you saw that the Champions League was suddenly moved for a month.” And the whole plan we had for next year to change our representatives to better conditions changed. From the day it happened, my co-workers have been working on next season. I have always said that the red line of the league organization and the competition committee, its good representatives include national and club teams in the international arena.

The head of the competition committee of the league organization stated: we must have a plan so that while not harming Sepahan and Foolad, the conditions will be such that the league will not be eroded and the conditions for our club teams will not become difficult. With this one-month transfer of the Champions League, we will not be able to finish the Premier League on time, because the four days of the new time of the group stage of the tournament are longer than we had previously planned. This stage is approaching the Nowruz and Fifadi holidays, and for this reason, many holidays are created between the seasons.

Mehdi stated: Maybe after the half-season holidays and before the new year, we will be able to complete 5-6 weeks. We have the Super Cup on the 18th of Bahman and the continuation of the Premier League will start on the 23rd of Bahman. From then until the end of March, we will continue the league, and then we will enter the Fifadi holiday and the national team camp to meet Lebanon and South Korea. The Champions League will start a week later and it is unlikely that we will be able to hold a week in the Premier League. If we do not have the FA Cup, it is natural that we will not be able to hold the Premier League either. After that, we will enter the discussion of holding the Premier League again.

He stated: April 3, Fifadi will end with a meeting with Lebanon. The group stage of the Champions League will start on April 6th. It remains to be seen what the hosting conditions, team dispatch and corona pandemics will be like in the host country and city. Last year, the teams had to introduce themselves to the host of the group stage of the Champions League 4-5 days before the start of the tournament. It remains to be seen what the issue of introducing teams will be this year. We try to have the Premier League one to two weeks before the start of the tournament, because this will help the Iranian representatives and will not be imposed on the teams any more. In the group stage, we will follow the planning of the National Cup.

Regarding the end of the current season of the Premier League, the head of the competition committee of the league organization stated: “It is possible that we will be able to finish the league in late June or early July.”

Mehdi mentioned in the football nights program: I wish the championship of one of the two teams of Sepahan or Foolad and their runner-up. We need these victories and we hope to enter the competition again next season with four strong, armed and powerful representatives because our football power is more than we have now.
