During the press conference which Querioz held to announce the Road Map to Brazil 2014 , the Team Melli coach announced his interest in the Japanese/Iranian player  Aria Jasuru Hasegawa.

The 25 years player ( born 29 October 1988) Japanese born  football player , is the son of an Iranian father and a Japanese mother who currently plays for FC Tokyo. Jasuru Hasegawa has in fact been selected for Japan National team several times but never played for the Japan which makes him eligible to play for Iran if he is awarded the Iranian nationality based on his father’s  citizenship.

The FC Tokyo player Jasuru Hasegawa’s situation is very much like the American/Iranian Beitashour , both born outside Iran and both selected for their country of birth national teams , but never made their debuts.

With the interest in Aria Jasuru Hasegawa now in the open, Queiroz once again sends an explicit message that he puts much effort in selecting players based outside of Iran rather than looking domestically for home born players.
