Mehdi Taj, the President of FFIRI met the Swiss-Italian President of FIFA,  Gianni Infantino at the world football ruling body in Zurich, Switzerland this morning.

The topic of discussion between the two, were Iran’s hosting of Futsal World Cup 2020, as well as issues related to receiving various entitlement and revenues from the World Football Federation, especially after the World Cup, according to the federation’s website.

The issue of Iran’s hosting of futsal is facing a few problems including the ban on females attending matches in Iran, which FIFA strongly objects to.

FIFA has also been procrastinating on paying Iran claiming financial difficulties in transferring money through the banking system that the United States government tightly controls.
