IFPNews – DOHA, Qatari Football Federation officials are planning to visit Iran\u2019s Kish Island to prepare the grounds for the Persian Gulf resort\u2019s hosting of Qatar 2022 World Cup teams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iranian Football Federation officials have invited president of the Qatar Football Association, Sheikh Hamad al-Thani, to visit Kish Island in southern Iran to see the possibilities of setting up camps for 2022 World Cup teams.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Hamad has welcomed the proposal, but due to a lack of direct flights from Qatar to the island, the Qatari official may travel to Kish with a dedicated flight or a ship from Doha.<\/p>\n

As soon as the dates for 2022 World Cup are confirmed, Iran would be informed about the details, the Varzesh3 news website said in a Farsi report.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Hamad al-Thani also promised to send a high-level delegation representing the 2022 World Cup executive committee to visit Kish Island in a bid to take care of any possible lack of facilities.<\/p>\n

Mehdi Taj, president of the Iranian Football Federation and his deputy Ali Kaffashian on Thursday made a trip to Qatar. During the visit, two MoUs were signed between Iran\u2019s Football Federation and Qatari Football Association.<\/p>\n

Based on one of these MoUs, Kish Island could be a tourist destination for the 2022 World Cup spectators. At the same time, it seems that a direct flight from Doha to Kish will be provided so that the island could accommodate spectators.<\/p>\n

The Qatari side also agreed to provide Iran\u2019s men and women national teams at all levels with special facilities and equipped academies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
