Because normal federations plan in advance FOR MONTHS! RETARDED federations like IFF ask a couple of weeks/days before..Quote:

is that a joke? i'm no expert on the bundesliga but this reeks of anti-Iranian bias. these days, thanks to our internaitonal reputation, newspapers can say anything about iranians without penalty.Quote:

^^ Just to have a word kinda related but not really:
You guys have to know that part of the reason why our players don't get bought and are seen negatively by European clubs is for marketing purposes. As you all probably know by now, politic plays a lot in Football: When you send a Japanese or a Korean player in the Bundesliga, the general public will see them positively because of the influence of their country in general and the monopoly of their companies (Samsung, Panasonic etc..) as a whole on the market, football included, they will make a lot of marketing sales (shirts, advertisements etc..) and at the end the club, the sponsors, the brands will all benefit from it.
However Iran. If you buy an Iranian player as a English or German club for example, you will most probably get a premature negative response from the public/fans regardless of our player's ability, the average football fan is fooled by the medias very easily and isn't mentally independent, will think of Iranian players as crap mostly because of the name "Iran", therefore you will have some bad advertising, not as much revenue and benefits as buying an Australian/Japanese/Korean player.
Of course, you can apply the same logic for our shirt sponsors, if you are wondering why we always get crap sponsors regardless of how good we are, while Korea/Jpn/Aus all get fancy Nike/adidas deals with 300 modelling photo shoots of their players for ads. Same thing for our dual nationality players; Zandi, Dejagah, Ghoochannejhad all were way more hyped and seen as "more fancy" under the Dutch or German nationality, but quickly saw their careers crumble when they started playing for Iran.
That reality is sad and not fair, but we have to cope with it now because nothing will change under the actual regime. We can only ignore the sanctions and the obstacles and fight with gheyrat even if we don't have the same "shortcuts" as our Asian rivals. The situation is improving and we have more youngsters given chances by European club, but it will be a slow process. I have faith that things will get better now especially if guys like Azmoun and JB prove the popular opinion about Iranian football wrong in few years.
Also, AFC has awarded the 2015 u22 championships (olympic qualifiers) to Qatar instead of Iran.
Very obvious fifa and afc are trying their best to make qatar a good team for 2022 $$$
And I can promise you that AFC will also give the 2019 Asian cup to UAE
Not Iran
