Follow-ups of two Asian teams for a direct flight to the Emirates/presidential plane owned by Esteghlal and Tractor
If there is no special problem, the government's ceremonial plane will be given to the tractor in addition to Independence.
According to the report of "Varzesh Se", after the direct trip of the independents from Tehran to Doha, there were many rumors about the blue-clad flight with the government's ceremonial plane. In this regard, the members of Tractor and Golgohar clubs protested a lot and complained about the discrimination between Esteghlal and their long trip to Oman.
In this situation, the three representatives of Iran are going to go to the UAE and Tajikistan to play their third game in Asia in the first week of November, and once again the question of how to travel has become hot.
In the Asian Elite League, Tractor will be the guest of Al Ain on November 4th in the Emirates, and Esteghlal will face Shabab Al Ahli in Dubai on November 5th. Also, Gol Gohar Sirjan will host Arkadag of Uzbekistan on November 6 in Tajikistan.
Therefore, Esteghlal officials, who used the presidential ceremonial plane to travel to Qatar before the game with Al-Gharafa and flew directly to Doha, have once again started their actions to take over the news-making plane. Due to the good relationship between the Esteghlal officials and the government officials, it is very likely that the necessary cooperation will be done with the Blue Pushan to make a direct trip to the UAE with the RJ plane.
The main issue is that the officials of Tractor and Golgohar also want to use the presidential ceremonial plane. Since Golghar has to travel to Tajikistan for his third game in Asia, it is unlikely that the government will be able to arrange a ceremonial flight for this team, but considering that the destination of the trip is Esteghlal and Tractor, the United Arab Emirates, the Tabriz Reds are diligently trying to get them to Dubai by direct flight.
Saeed Fattahi, the head of the Esteghlal Football Organization, announced in a part of his interview today that the officials of the government formalities have no problem to cooperate with the other two representatives of Iran, but the problem that has been announced for the use of the hangar plane is that the members of the two Esteghlal and Tractor teams will go to the UAE on the same flight and at the same time, which is practically not possible.
The ceremonial plane that was given to Esteghlal has 52 passengers, and considering that each sports team has at least 40 members, it is practically impossible for Esteghlal and Tractor to go to the UAE together with this plane. On the other hand, the meeting between Tractor and Esteghlal in the elite league will be held on two different days (November 4 and 5) and the arrival and departure times of the two teams from the UAE are also different.
In such a situation, Tractor and Esteghlal are still negotiating with the government officials and they are trying to get the special presidential plane separately so that they can go to and from the UAE with direct flights.
Considering the time interval until the next match between Esteghlal and Tractor in Asia, the two clubs are continuing to follow up on this matter, and there is a high possibility that the necessary coordination for the direct trip of the two clubs to Dubai will be done separately by private plane.
