FIFA has allowed Germany under-21 international Ashkan Dejagah to switch allegiance and play for Iran at the Asian Cup next month.

FIFA approved a request from Iran and Dejagah, who was born in Tehran but brought up in Germany and plays for Bundesliga club Wolfsburg.

The governing body’s statutes allow players to change national teams before playing a senior competitive match, and if they always were eligible to represent their second-choice country.

Dejagah, 24, made headlines in 2007 when refusing to play against Israel under-21s, citing family reasons. Iran does not recognize Israel’s right to exist.

The 16-nation Asian Cup is played Jan. 7-29 in Qatar.

Iran is grouped with Iraq, North Korea and the United Arab Emirates.

I would wait to see him in training camp first before worrying so much about what number he wears...
I'm pretty sure no one cares as much as you guys! The most contested number since Daei's departure has been 6 anyways

If Khatibi can wear the number 10, then anyone who wants it should get it.

Khatibi wore #10?

Guys, seriously, this is old news. It's just various sources citing Khabar Varzeshi.
Also
ARE YOU MAD
WHY ARE WE BUILDING SOMEONE UP EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED IN OUR TEAM YET?! WHO THE BLOODY HELL GIVES A NEW COMER NUMBER 10 FOR THE FIRST TIME?!?!?!?!?!?!

This will only result in disasters.

If Khatibi can wear the number 10, then anyone who wants it should get it.
