Ghalenoei's Special Request for the Asian Cup
Amir Ghalenoei has requested one month to prepare the national team before the start of the Asian Cup.
Amir Ghalenoui has requested a month's time to prepare the national team before the start of the Nations Cup.
According to Ambassador Arjan, the 18th edition of the Asian Nations Cup is scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia from January 7 to February 5, 2027 (January 17 to February 16, 1405).
The Iranian national football team is going to face China (December 19), Kyrgyzstan (December 23) and Syria (December 25) in Group C of the competition.
Based on this, Amir Ghalenoui has requested the officials of the Football Federation to start the team's camp from 20 December for this tournament to give the team more time to prepare.
This is while the intensification of the attacks of the Yemeni army on this country, which has led to the closure of airports and the protest of some countries to the AFC, has affected the holding of the matches, and the possibility of postponing the games for a year or changing the host has also been raised.
