Confusion supreme is the theme of Team Melli once again after news from Russia that Iran vs. Togo match has been cancelled.

The match against the African Nation was arranged to coincide with Team Melli’s trip to the World Cup host in October

The friendly international match against Russia has been scheduled for 10th October  while 5 days before that match , Iran was scheduled to face African nation Togo in a friendly match in the Cit of Kazan in Russia.

Apparently some rules does not allow a foreign nation to play in the host’s official FIFA World Cup venues, but the host country is exempt from such rule. 

Today, Mehdi Taj insisted that the match against Togo is not cancelled. He said that “I am the head of FFIRI and I am saying that the match against Togo is on. It is the venue that has been moved out of the original planned venue of Kazan. We are actively looking for an alternative venue.”

The Friendly Matches are in the FIFA days which in October is between the 2nd and the 10th.

Russia will be hosting Iran in St Petersburg.
