our football and players are not comparable with epl, we are light years behind. if/when our football improves, of course, we can expect more from our players. right now, I am worried about quality and injuries. better to relieve some pressure and use the energy to improve lig1 and 2

ipl would be fine with 18 if we had some private teams... these government subsidized company teams really suck in terms of management, and irans football needs to be harder on the players, the players are too lazy and most of them are not in proper shape

in every NORMAL Football country 18 teams are okay, also in korea and japan....even in romania, turkey or wherever. if we drop to 16 teams, this means that we run away from the problems! this means that we want to clear our problems and make it easy by moving two teams....

this is not okay.

in spain, england and italy they play with 20 teams. and they have two more teams, this means up to 50 more potential candidates for team melli (in a country like iran) and our country is soooooo big, we should have teams from every corner of iran. and you guys should know, our football can only also improve when more matches will be played, because our teams do not have training like european teams and not the competition, so we met get this from this way.

18 is absolut minimum and normal.....20 should be the final and aim, a dream to have teams in IPL again, from mashed and also baluchestan hopefully one day. neary from every corner, i accept it is not possible to have teams from every state but at least geographically every corner should be the aim...with aluminum hormozgan we have now one more of this teams from another corner..

I agree with you 100% Neda jan. They need to decrease the league down to 16 teams. Especially since next year will be a tough road to Brazil 2014, we need to make it as comfortable as we can for the players who are playing their football in Lige Bartar. I'm actually surprised they haven't done anything about it yet. They need to hurry up and make a decision cause the league is ending pretty soon in less than two months.

actually IPL should downgrade to less than 10 clubs

or they can relegate 4 and bring in the top 2 from azadegan
for this to succeed, azadegan should be significantly improved
may be another 16 team league, then have 2 div 2 and 3 div. 3's
