Tehran.

ISNA new agency reported that the date of the match between Kuwait and Iran in the Qualification rounds of AFC Asian Cup 2015 which is supposed to be held in Kuwait Al Kazma Stadium on the 22nd of March 2013 , has been put back to 26th March , four days later than scheduled.

ISNA is quoting kooora.com Arabic website , which in turn is quoting Mohsen Al Enazi , an official in the Kuwait Football federation saying that Kuwait FA received a request from its Iranian counterpart requesting such delay because of Nowrooz Holidays in Iran !!!

This sounds like a highly unusual request by IRIFF  especially since the match is held in Kuwait , which itself celebrates its national day on 25th February.  There was no confirmation from AFC on this. teammelli.com is pursuing the matter for confirmation.
