Ashtiani: Board members to tolerate each other to the assembly / The meaning of national interests to some friends not understood

Amir Reza Vaez Ashtiani, in an interview with a sports reporter of Fars News Agency, stated about the non-recognition of yesterday’s meeting of the board of directors of the Football Federation due to the absence of Mehrdad Seraji and of course Ahmad Reza Barati’s complaints on the sidelines of the meeting: In my opinion, the meaning of national interests has not been explained to some good friends. We have seen that sometimes there is no coordination with some members of the board, but despite these inconsistencies, there is no reason to forget the national interest.

He added: “There are about 20 days left until the Football Federation Assembly is held, and the gentlemen must tolerate each other during this period for the sake of the country and football in the domestic and international dimension.” Why should egoism take precedence over national interests? Assuming the right belongs to some members of the board, now is not the time to complain. If we are to criticize, the other side can do the same and raise grievances.

The former deputy head of the Physical Education Organization said: “My suggestion is that if the statute and the law allow the assembly, the members of the assembly of the federation should also make a change among the members of the board.” This board and the former president of the Football Federation had nothing in common and, of course, did not have the necessary qualifications to run the Football Federation. The Assembly must compensate in the form of the damage caused by this election.

Ashtiani continued: First, we should complain to the assembly about the current situation of the federation. An assembly in which some members of the gang are open, lying, and tribalists who do not care about national interests and consider only material and individual interests.

He pointed out whether all members of the board should be informed so that such tensions do not arise: nothing special will happen until the assembly is held. Board members tolerate each other. It is not possible for criticism to be one-sided, but they should at least pretend in front of the public opinion that they have unity of procedure and coherence and maintain their coherence in appearance until the day of the assembly. In the current situation, the media feed of giving and disturbing the atmosphere does not help our football at all.
