Team Melli and Team Omid both had participated in Kirin Challenge before.

[rooyintan]

Team Melli had played Japan in 1999 and Team Omid had played Japan in 2004 at Kirin Challenge.

Apart from Iran, many other national football teams from Muslim countries had participated in Kirin Cup, Kirin Challenge Cup or both. Teams such as UAE, Malaysia, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Syria, Bosnia Herzegovina.

It was the most insane decision to not participate this year due to sponsor which has costs Team Melli the chance to play against quality teams such as Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Ghana, Tunisia, Japan! Those who made such a decision are the biggest traitors to Iran and want to see Team Melli lose all three matches at the 2022 World Cup.

I strongly encourage fans to make a noise so the media publishes about it and make sure those traitors to know never ever make such stupid decisions.

There is no doubt that there some traitors paid by whoever to ensure Team Melli does not get good preparation or at the current state no preparation at all.

Fans need to bring awareness to the Iranian media, so hopefully the more articles get published, those traitors will eventually be identified and hopefully be no where near Football.

IR Iran is made up of traitors. You want traitors to identify other traitors? There is no accountability or transparency in that society. It is one of the most closed press in the world.

I wish they cared as much as you do.

Wow that's crazy! Missing out on something like this is just ridiculous!

Does anyone have a reliable source explaning the whole situation with us missing out because of the sponsor? - I'm guessing this is a confirmed reason for not participating??

Interested in reading more and would appreciate it.

This was before the Bacheh Akhounds are sent to the West to learn English. These Bi-Savad Akhounds had no clue what Carslberg was.
