If we can fix this, then Iranian women\u2019s football will be able to gradually become better, continuously,\u201d Khosrowyar told Tehran Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs an American- Iranian, who has played for Team Melli, I also wanted other American-Iranian girls to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity. I think it\u2019s important to include Iranians who live elsewhere since at the end of the day we all love our country and football,\u201d she declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have four players who will join Team Melli to take part at Kuban Spring tournament. They currently play for American clubs Emory University, Vanderbilt University, LA Galaxy and one plays in a top level club team. They are very talented players. And they will fit in perfectly with the U19 team we are creating,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tehran Times &#8211; TEHRAN, Katayoun Khosrowyar, head coach of Iran&#8217;s U19 women&#8217;s football team, is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26307,"featured_media":35484,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[171,157,84,170,140,169,138,137,139,156,86,155,133],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-afc-u16","category-afc-u23","category-c47-featured-news","category-iran-u17","category-iran-u19","category-iran-u20","category-irans-u14","category-irans-u16","category-irans-u23","category-olympics","category-c13-team-melli-news","category-womens","category-c14-youth-teams"],"views":1079,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35483"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35485,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35483\/revisions\/35485"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
