Surprised we don't have a thread for this (or at least one that I could easily find). Tournament is already underway with the Preliminary Round 1 games played yesterday.
The Preliminary Round 2 games will be played next Tuesday (February 10th).
Naft will be joining the action the Tuesday after that (17th) in a single game at Azadi against either El Jaish (Qatar) or El Nahda (Oman) in the Palyoff-Round.
Hopefully all 4 Iranian teams will be involved in the Group Stage starting February 24th:
February 24th
PP vs. Lekhwiya
Pakhtakor vs. Naft (given they win their playoff game)
February 25th
Foolad vs. Winner of West Play-off 4
Nasaf Qarshi vs. Tractor
why do foolad play in tehran?
Foolad's playing all their home games in Ahvaz like they normally do. Naft is playing their play-off game in Azadi, but I think the rest of their home games (if/when they qualify) will be @ Takhti stadium.Originally Posted by Ab-Gosht
Why would naft play the playoff game in azadi? It will almost be completely empty
Yeah, it should be the other way, so they play their group matches there
I think Lady Gaga's having a concert @ Takhti that day!
I think the reason they are playing in Azadi is because of the better pitch. Since Naft plays a more passing and possession style of game Azadi would suit them better.
And Perspolis should play in Anzali with Sir Alex Botox's tactics...
The pitch in Abu Musa suits them perfectly. All they do is bezan ziresh anyway.
