در خصوص این مسئله، مهدی تاج، رئیس فدراسیون فوتبال در پاسخ به سؤال خبرنگار مبنی بر اینکه آیا دیدار با ساحل*عاج لغو شده است، گفت:

نمی*دانم بازی با ساحل*عاج چطور شد!

[sarbaz]

Taj himself said in the news a couple of times that the IC game "ghaatie shod"

So now he doesn't know anything about it ???

Bunch a BS as usual

[Abtin]

Haha classic IR and IFF. We all got punked for good.

[Nokhodi]

Its not always IFF's fault.
Easy target - I know, but they're actually trying.

On the other side of the fence, Ivory Coast probably wants to have friendly matches with big names also. While Iran is #1 in Asia, I'm pretty sure majority of the teams would take a friendly with Sweden over Iran.

[Ghermez Agha]

Knew it was too god to be true....hopefully Taj immediately can try to find another african team preping for the AFCON. Worst case scenario, he should try to get a game with UAE. Would be a solid last resort given the circumstances.

[perspolis#1]

At this stage in the game playing friendlies against Jordan and North Korea would be good. They both match Qatar and China's style and both have nothing to do at this point.

If we insist on bigger names we could play any team preparing for AFCON. UAE friendly not bad either.

[sarbaz]

Yes it sure was too good to be true

But even if they can CONFIRM a couple of games with Morroco and another African team , I will be happy

But it is a BIG if

[Doctor DOOM]

the problem is nonexistant professionalism in Iran and IFF in this case.
They start inquiring about friendlies with a couple of nations. mind you, these are regular and common inquiries only, no contract or agreements.
But since we have utter baboons and mindless donkeys as officials, without having made any contractual or binding agreements they go and tell our journalists , who are even less professional and more immature that they are trying to get so and so lined up. and they print it in media and we read about this and start dreaming.

I doubt 90-95% of these "news" are actual contracts. mere inquiries.
That's why the "opponent teams" so easily drop us and contract other nations

[YeCheesi Tala]

lol let them cancel. Iran's team is on the rise and will stay on the rise for the next decade if things go right. We will have Ivory Coast begging at our doorsteps for a friendly. But we wouldn't have time for their mediocre team.

[sarbaz]

Wow , so even Ivory Coast FF is more professional than ours !!?? 😟😟😟😡😡😡

Right! and then we wake up and realize it was all a sweet dream!

True, there are like a million sports newspapers in Iran all trying to get an exclusive story, pretty easy for a guy in the system trying to me a quick buck with leaked stories or just bs speculations.
