According to the Mehr reporter, Hassan Kamranifar, regarding the latest situation of the preparatory games for the Iranian national football team, said: “We are working with the head coach of the national team, Dragan Skucic.” Our contract is finalized on Monday and will be announced in the next two days. We will have good conditions for the first Fifadi along with some friendly games. This Fifadi will start on the 9th of Khordad and we will have Fifadi for 14 days and we will have two to three friendly games.
In response to the question, in which country will the camp of the Iranian national team be? “We will probably be in two countries,” he said. First we go to a country other than Qatar and then we go to Qatar.
Kamranifar continued: “First we will go to Canada and then we will travel to Qatar.” The stadium has also been decided to play against Canada. If you allow, it will be finalized tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and we will announce two more games.
The Secretary General of the Football Federation said that it is better for the national team to play at least two games in Canada, despite the distance to Canada: “Yes, we talked to two other countries for friendly matches to play in Canada.” There is also the issue of stadiums because the distance between Canadian cities is great. If we are going to fly for 5-6 hours for the second game, we will return to Qatar. We do not name a team at this time. They themselves have said that the nominal contract should not be finalized.
Kamranifar also announced the possibility of facing the Albanian team and said: “European teams are involved.” Russia game has been canceled. Albania has played against Russia and we are trying to play against Albania as well.
