Iran Youth team (Team Melli U19) will be competing in the AFC U-19 championship in Myanmar in October.
The team coached by the veteran youth teams coach , Ali Doustimehr , is the last chance for Iran to grab an honor in Asian tournaments after the disappointing failures of all the participating teams in AFC competition to gain any titles or qualify for World Championship. 4 teams from this championship in Yangon , Myanmar will qualify for the FIFA U-19 championship in New Zealand next year.
The competition will be a tough test for Iran as they are facing the host nation Myanmar and the strong Thai team. Doustimehr will have Mehdi Mahdavikia in a consulting role alongside him in Myanmar. The team seems to be well prepared and despite the cancellation of a proposed camp , the alternative plans world well according to the coach and Mahdavikia.
Saeid Ezzatollahei who is currently playing for Atletico Madrid “B” team is included in the list , however , his availability for the competition is dependent on the club agreeing to release him.)
