The possibility of some clubs being relegated to the lower/primary categories: we should not put a hat on ourselves

According to the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Kazem Olyaei said on the sidelines of the unveiling ceremony of the national football team’s jersey for participation in the Qatar World Cup: While I respect the clubs, I must say that Mustafa’s words are true and the clubs must correct their affairs. We don’t want to put a hat on ourselves and we have to accept that our clubs have structural problems and until these problems are solved, a professional license will not be issued.

He continued: Clubs should not expect us to give false information to the Asian Football Confederation and FIFA. FIFA has hired a company that this European company monitors and compares us with European regulations. I hope our clubs establish a professional licensing committee and recruit people who can properly troubleshoot. Many problems cannot be solved by the clubs themselves, and the government and the president need to give clear orders. If this command is not given, the problems will not be solved soon.

The former head of the professional license appeal committee stated that the regulations of FIFA and Asia are very serious regarding the possibility of some teams falling to the second and third categories. Fortunately, no case from Iran has been sent to the disciplinary committee yet, and if the matter goes there, any decision may be made for us. We must try to solve the problems of the clubs completely.
